Girlpool – two female musicians who got together a while back at LA’s famous indie haunt the Smell – are a scream. Literally: they sound as though they’re screaming all the time on their records. OK, maybe not screaming. Something shriller and whinier than that. Shrieking. Whatever, it’s effective, and those voices, combined with their raw stripped-down guitar-bass arrangements (no drums) and simple nursery rhyme-goes-Americana melodies, make for an arresting combination. Their lyrics ring true, and are particularly satisfying delivered in catchy harmonies and minimally backed with just guitar and bass.
