New Girls - "Solitude"
![]()
Girls' pretty up-all-night video for "Hellhole Ratrace" captured the song's romantic somnambulance perfectly. The harmonica-lined "Solitude," which shows up as the "Hellhole Ratrace" 10" B-Side, conjures an after-hours feel, but with a prom-y two-step (a la Modest Mouse's appropriately titled "Sleepwalking") and a half-awake, much older Bright Eyes-enunciation. The track's called "Solitude," but Christopher Owens and Chet "JR" White are anything but lonely in the above pic. Their 12-song Album is forthcoming, which should find them even more friends.

I can't help thinking they've come up with one of the best album titles ever.
Very original band — for whatever reason, I'm hearing a soulful Violent Femmes in there with some Arcade Fire action...
Very pretty.

Heard this on 101X while lounging under the starry sky, and melted into my chair. Perfect chill mood music IMHO. Can't wait to hear more. =)

Here's a video I shot of Girls first ever live performance of Solitude at the Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco.
