We are proud to announce the September 22 release of the debut full-length from Girls, entitled Album. The record will be released by True Panther Recordings, the label that released Girls' debut 7", "Lust For Life," last year, in conjunction with Matador.

Built on the powerful songwriting of Christopher Owens and the ethereal production of Chet "JR" White, Girls recorded Album in a variety of bedrooms and rehearsal studios in their adopted hometown, San Francisco. The resulting 12 tracks are the perfect San Francisco summer record, evoking a narcotic, sunny afternoon in Dolores Park, yet promising the eventual hangover of summer's departure. Album is a redemptive song-cycle about the various characters and desires that color Christopher Owens's life. Described by the band as "honest, loose, ethereal, obnoxious and perfect," it is a sincere tribute to the majesty of great pop music and the healing power of rock and roll.

Album's seven-minute opus, "Hellhole Ratrace," rated by Pitchfork as "one of the 100 best songs of the year," will be available prior to the album's release date on a limited-edition 10" vinyl single.
