Review
"Death of a Party Girl" by TV Girl is a tour de force in the realms of indie pop and neo-psychedelia. Dropped on May 11, 2018, this album delivers a dazzling blend of infectious melodies and introspective lyrics that grab you from the flamenco-inspired opener "Pretty Boys". The guitar riffs are irresistible, setting the stage beautifully for the rest of the tracks. Highlights like "Blue Hair" and "Cynical One" perfectly demonstrate the band's knack for creating tunes that are both catchy and thought-provoking.
This record isn't just a fun listen; it's also rich in lyrical exploration, delving into themes of fame, beauty, and the grim side of the party scene. The title track, "Death of a Party Girl," stands out with its haunting narrative of lost glamour, amplified by samples from the radio show "Crime Classics," adding an eerie nostalgia. While some may gripe about the occasional crassness in lyrics, the album's overall vibe and profound messages are bound to captivate indie pop and neo-psychedelia enthusiasts. It's an essential add to any summer mix, bursting with vibrant, compelling soundscapes. - Ruby
