Genre: OG Lo-Fi
2.5 out of 5
Highlights:
Marine Girls
There are a handful of artists that push out their DIY thang in the early 80s. Daniel Johnston comes to mind. As does Jandek. And Marine Girls. Sadly, their debut, while possibly giving birth to Twee is also a challenging listen. The guitars are wildly out of tune and that wound’t be so bad if the songs weren’t so cloying and achingly pining. They really pull it together in a couple years but on Beach Party, there’s not so much a party as there is a basement gathering of David Lynch castaways.
This is going to sound so much better when they get better in a couple years and then you will be just fine with Marine Girls. In fact, add some Cub and All Girl Summer Fun Band…maybe even Donora and you’ve got quite the lo-fi all female playlist.
I like that they have their own theme song. And it’s the only song I like on the record, tbh.
