[mp3] Squaresville // Girl

Written on January 27, 2012 by Andy in Music

At some point last week I forgot my iPod at home when I went to work; in lieu of listening to nothing, I instead popped my iPhone into my iPod dock, and used Tune-In Radio instead. I settled on a vaguely named indie rock station from somewhere I didn’t know, and listened to it for most of the day in the background, hearing mostly songs I already knew and liked, until Squaresville came on.

Besides the band’s name sounding like a schoolyard taunt from the 1950′s, Squaresville hails from Aarhaus, Denmark, and they make a jangly, off-kilter sort of rock. “Girl” is from their three-song EP, [Not If You Were] The Last Square On Earth, which is cumbersome and ridiculous. But the alternating boy/girl vocals always seem to reel me in, and this track certainly has them.

The band has a couple of other brief releases from years past, which are also available to stream through their Bandcamp page. [Not If You Were] The Last Square On Earth is available for you to have for free. The other two tracks on the EP get a little more guitar heavy than this one, and it all feels strangely Nineties – not that that is anything to complain about.
