REVIEWS
"Catchy alternative poprock-songs, often built up around
a basis of fierce acoustic guitar chords, bass and drums with
little, slanted melodies done with electric guitar or synthesizer.
Particularly the catchy album opener 'Pictures Of Odd', the
happy and energetic 'Forever Coming Up' and the more dreamy
'Good Cop, Bad Poetry' are successful. And as the title of
the latter reveals the album has things to offer lyrically.(...)
An album that is both charming and full of promise."
- Cd review by Gaffa,
Denmark's biggest music magazine.
"A healthy partiality for classic American lo-fi.
(...) Personally I'm delighted that "Les Chansons Terribles"
is a great album. Even though you can hear inspiration from
amongst others R.E.M., Sebadoh and Guided By Voices, there
is no question about the talent, because the album is a string
of pearls of great songs. It's that simple! (...) Favourite
songs? "Pictures of Odd", "Good Cop, Bad Poetry",
"Open Roads" - tomorrow probably other songs. Take
your pick. Every time the chords are put together it's done
with weight and the lyrics are great a mash-up of American-influenced
and personale moods and references. (...) It's done with style
and soul."

"The songs
are great on this one. Really strong pop songs I reckon.
Go on... 'ave a bit will you."

"Girls Love Rallie probably doesn't have the ambition
to revolutionize the history of music, but is satisfied
with interpreting good traditional songs in the verse-refrain-bridge
way in a relaxed atmosphere, while avoiding not going
too quickly. And it works! Precisely because the songs
are good. And that is not the kind of gift which one refuses."
