A really strong (and rather long) single from the hard-to-google Girls, 'Hellhole Ratrace' isn't entirely unrelated to the Jesus & Mary Chain plundering that's gone on in recent times, albeit with an Americanised spin, but it's already found some notable success by hitting the Pitchfork Top 100 prior to this release. If you like the idea of a San Franciscan Glasvegas, you're in luck with this one. After all that towering fizz comes B-side 'Solitude', which airs a more sentimentalised side to the band's work, coming across as surprisingly old-fashioned - even a bit '50s.-boomkat.
