Girls‘ first garnered attention with their single “Lust for Life,” which, despite the title, wasn’t an Iggy Pop cover. Now, the band has released a new track called “Heartbreaker,” which isn’t a Led Zeppelin cover. Instead, it’s countrified rocker, with phasing guitars and singer Christopher Owen’s usual lovelorn moping.
Despite some excellent past singles, I’ve never been entirely convinced that Girls are worth the hype. This new tune is a good one (I especially like the heartbroken lyrics), but it still doesn’t quite make me a believer.
