Skeletons & the Girl-Faced Boys: “Git”
Despite this being released in mid-2005, it’s a relevant SXSW-bound crew heard from. Shoegaze electronica that maybe-possibly owes inspiration to fellow Ohio mentalcases Brainiac, but Air for sure, as far as their insistence on lo-fi Casio-plinking EKG textures. Vocally and attitudinally it’s Lilys-like, high-pitched male stoner-zombie vocals wavering over shape-shifting weirdness, hummingbird-speed sample rattlings and a Martian’s-eye-view of 70s Motown. One value-add is that for the most part the ancillary instruments – flutes, horns, Rhodes, etc. – were played by actual people with skin and stuff. Order at Tower Records
