The latest from Pacific Northwest pop group the Parenthetical Girls -- Zac Pennington and Dead Science members Sam Mickens and Jherek Bischoff (who also is a regular contributor to Xiu Xiu and Casiotone for the Painfully Alone). Beginning where their previous (Grrrls) album left off -- on the same sweat-and-menstrual-blood-soaked summer lawn -- the album takes a sonic leap forward, pitting Pennington's plainspoken and startlingly corporeal apparitions with kitchen sink experimentation and dark pop arrangements. Creepy, dirty, and beautiful.
