Lambrini Girls Who Let The Dogs Out
(City Slang)The fiery debut from Brighton's Lambrini Girls seems designed to provoke. Sure, the duo's musical palette is a little limited, and Phoebe Lunny’s nasal snarl starts to become a little grating after a while, but the furious lyrics and frenetic guitars certainly make for a fun listen.
While tracks like Company Culture ("Michael, I don't want to suck you off on my lunch break") will generate the most discussion, the slower No Homo is my personal favourite, largely because of its more personal and reflective lyrical tone. In contrast, the rest of the record resembles a political manifesto, with Lunny desperate to offer her steadfastly progressive views on various hot topic issues. Of course, tracks like Big Dick Energy have their place, but their potency on record would be enhanced by a little more variety.
