Girl And Girl make It’s Dead and Hell sound like two postcards from the nervous system

Girl And Girl arrive on 25 June with two new songs, It’s Dead and Hell, which is a pairing that does not exactly promise a gentle afternoon picnic. The Australian band have built their appeal around wiry indie rock, ragged nerves, theatrical vocals and guitar energy that seems perpetually one coffee away from panic. These new tracks continue that anxious momentum, sounding from the outside like two different doors into the same overheated room: one marked mortality, the other marked, well, Hell. Girl And Girl’s best quality is that they make messiness feel intentional without sanding it into tasteful indie compliance. The band sound alive because the parts do not sit still. It’s Dead and Hell keep the pulse jumpy, the hooks crooked and the emotional weather just unstable enough to be useful.
