Along with like-minded Texans Fergus & Geronimo and Teenage Cool Kids, Houston’s Young Girls make tuneful, polaroid-quality garage pop that feels impassioned and sincere without losing a certain tongue-in-cheek self-awareness. The not-so-recent-surge of retro pop-punk encompasses a range of themes that is, generally speaking, not bottomless: last nights, girls, summer/bummer, you/blue. But like a perfectly faded pair of denim, some things never lose their appeal. We’ve never been to Mexico, let alone in December, but the vibes we’re receiving here are pretty much our thing so we might reconsider. Young Girls are a three-piece from Houston, Texas, and their brand new tune Mexico in December is the first track to surface from the outfit’s forthcoming self-titled full-length. Crystal-clear harmonies on this honest sixties throwback summer tune to let us forget all the clouds out there on this early Wednesday morning.- No Fear Of Pop by Henning The last band on was Young Girls.
