The latest album by U.S. Girls, titled “In a Poem Unlimited,” has really grabbed me over the past week. It’s influences are vast and yet it manages to have them all working together fluidly. On the denouement, the track “Time” takes the art rock sound of the 70’s and early 80’s and finishes the album on a long jam session, with a dark brooding aesthetic achieved by a driving drum beat and eclectic instrumentation. Reminiscent of artists like Talking Heads and Roxy music in their heyday, U.S. Girls manage to provide a fresh take on a tried and tested sound that keeps me coming back for more.
