Girlfriends is the project of a single man. A man named Jerry Joiner. And I hope that name is not made up, because Jerry joins things. Literally. He is a looper.
A looper? Up until listening to this I had no idea why he was either. But I guess it's self explanatory. He takes sounds and loops them together to make music. Most songs start with a little bit of guitar, playing a sort of bright, almost mathy riff. This then loops and he slowly adds other instruments in layers over it, ocassionally finishing with some shouted vocals which are like a hybrid of garage rock with hardcore.
I love it. And to make it more awesome, you can get his 2009 self titled album for free at his Bandcamp: http://girlfriends.bandcamp.com/ (or, if you dig it, you can donate a bit of cash). Get on this, it's awesome to think it's just one guy making this music.
