Sad Girls

U.S. seven inch vinyl pressing of this single lifted from their 2011 album Romantic Comedy. A lovely slice of updated power-pop based on a catchy stop-start verse that gives way to an indelible, spiraling chorus, this tune is as big and bright as they come. By the time the chiming outro hits, you're well hooked, and the only option really is to play the tune all over again. On the flip side, 'Phantom' raises the volume a bit, hearkening back to first-album hits like 'Freudian Slips' and 'Bite Yr Tongue'.
