The Godshills “March”

February 14, 2009

This could be the best album I hear all year. “March” is a song by The Reputation, and these guys sound better than them. The Godshills sound like a little bit each of the female-fronted rock bands of the mid-90s and early 2000s. So Bettie Serveert and The Rocking Horse Winner.

There are only nine songs, and most of them are pretty short. “Boats” sounds like something you would hear in the background of a cheesy ’80s teen flick, but somehow that’s a compliment. “Behind the Door” has a more modern feel and is very polished. Anyone who doesn’t like this must be a misogynist.

“Spiderwebs” is not a No Doubt cover. It is more layered than the other songs and makes me think of a middle school math class. It doesn’t make sense, but it’s an unforgettable experience. “The Unclean Spirit” is longer and more of a stripped down ballad. Sleepy? A little, but not in a bad way. Put this song on your makeout mix.
