Girls – Father, Son, Holy Ghost (2xLP)

The long-awaited second full-length from San Francisco band Girls is spontaneous and stripped-down in a gorgeous, largely minor-key record. 'Father, Son, Holy Ghost' is enlivened by flashes of innocent pop and given depth by its wealth of influences and will to face sadness. Peaking at Billboard #37 after its release in 2011 and claiming #82 on Pitchfork's '200 Best Albums of the 2010s', 'Father, Son, Holy Ghost' both comes alive and cements its legacy with the timbre of Christopher Owen's voice.
