New Girls Video - "Laura"

San Francisco lifers Girls have given us the sentimental, slow-mo partying of "Hellhole Ratrace," the carefree apartment-and-rooftop lipdubbing in "Lust For Life," and today their Album yields this clip for "Laura" with lots of split screens, topless smiles, and citywide gallivanting. (The toplessness is of the sorta-NSFW variety, so be warned.)

Girls - "Laura" (MP3)

Album is out via True Panther.

Pretty sure dude just lived there, but he's from Cali, if anywhere.

Laura kinda looks like Kate Hudson, circa Almost Famous. Pitchfork has these guys doing one of those rooftop performances - it's really good.

I'm tired of the casual sexism associated with this band...

are you serious charlie?? i gotta believe the album is about his frustration in dealing with women. many of lyrics express a longing to be with a woman. "i only wanna be with you.. all of the time." & countless others are simple expressions of feelings towards women. i can't even believe im submitting to the overanalyis of this purely genuine, and expressive record. i love these gus for thier knack for expressing honest emotions without coming off, vein, flowery, or too ambitious. I'm sorry Animal Collective, I'm sorry Camera Obscura, this is the record of the year and get ready to hear the imitations. We could see an effect like the Strokes had on the rock/pop genre.

RECORD OF THE YEAR
