I like how the video clips suit their musical style but I don't understand why Mr 'sad and lonely' is having the time of his life in them. Maybe these fun times is what he desires most?
I find it strange that for such an apparently deep and conflicted guy that christopher is exclusively friends with exceptionally beautiful girls and all they do is get wasted and roll around on beds looking cool. Seriously guys great fucking music but some of the lamest videos iv'e ever seen, sort it out.
Yes, I see the similarity to Mote, and yes, the shoegazer reference is apparent, and I am I giant Dinosaur and BV fan, but at least give a listen to more of their songs....every artist steals.....I think you will at least find a very new and unique pop song writer and singer and the classic introvert behind the scenes magic in pop duos.....I don't think you could separate this duo without diminishing the sound....they must have chemistry that makes...well, what I think is really great pop music
Girls is an indie rock band from San Francisco, California. The band's lead singer, Christopher Owens, is a former member of the Children of God cult.
The New York Times compared the band's sound to Elvis Costello, Buddy Holly, and the Beach Boys.

I admit, first thing I thought when hearing this song was Mote. But so what? Is this the first time a riff was taken in the great big world of rock, and reclaimed? I'm sure Lee Ranaldo could care less about some guys taking 3 or 4 chords he put together almost 20 years ago and using it as a foundation for a new idea. Both songs took the same riffs and went in completely different directions.
Honestly, what made Mote for me was Thurston's noise guitar. But I digress...

what a bunch of fags. ripped off from mbv, they can't even reach their fucking toes. I can see through these "guys", no spirit just fake all over the place. To ease my mind I'm playing mbv all day. !trlala!
i can definitely see the similarity to mote. but if you think about it, being influenced by other bands songs, and sometimes even sounding like them is what rock n rolls about, i mean even the smiths "ripped off" a t rex song
