Not that we suggest skipping around a very well sequenced record, but imagining you’ve already heard Girls‘ “Lust For Life,” “Hellhole Ratrace” and “Morning Light,” just make sure you listen to “Lauren Marie” and then “Curls” into “Darling.” Our current cover stars have released one of the years best albums of simple, loving guitar pop. And if this stream of Album makes it clear that collection of songs deserves more than an minimized browser window open to enjoy, we’re giving away a signed copy of the vinyl LP along with a pair of tickets to the Girls show of your choice on their upcoming US tour to two lucky people. Dates are after the jump. Leave your favorite song from Album in the comments and register with your real email address so we can find you.

Morning Light’s my fave – just got into this band. They’re rather good.
PS : The Joy Formidable are rather good too.
can’t get past Lust for Life… wow
Laura
God Damned
laura.
also the name of my forst 2nd grade crush.
are you kidding me? HELLHOLE RATRACE might be played out already, but it’s still the best song on this album and probably most other albums of 2009!
big bad mean motherfucker
Lust for Life, definitely.
morning light
Hellhole Ratrace
Fantastic Album, no the best of the year, but high marks!
Summertime on repeat. Captured the lazy hazy late summer in NYC this year.
“Hellhole Ratrace”
Saw their show at Great American Music Hall and it was sweeeeeet.
I think I have to say Lust For Life.
But they’re all really great.
Everyone’s about to be way into Girls.
I LOVE GIRLS!
I have been hooked since I first heard Hellhole Ratrace. My favorite song keeps changing with each 7″ and now with the full album so many great songs!
I think today my favorite song is Laura.
“Ghostmouth” is my fave right now…
Laura! It reminds me of something like…making chocolate chip pancakes and cleaning up the kitchen with your best friend the morning after a hyped up party that just went downhill..
god damned
lust for life
Lust for Life!
I wish I had a suntan! I wish I had a pizza and a bottle of wine!
morning light
Its near impossible to do better than “hellhole rat race” & ” lust for life”.
Those are easily two of the best songs i’ve heard in my entire life.
i cant chose one, i choose both.
Still love Lust for Life like i just heard it yesterday
summertime
..soak up the sunshine with you
Girls!
I want to hang out with them and listen to beyonce and snort pure MDMA!
Hellhole Ratrace
Morning Light (and Hellhole Ratrace…depending on the mood).
Friends for eva friends for eva Laura
First i heard and still are the best from all (IMO): Lust for Life
Laura, for sure.
lauren marie is a personal favorite. the build up of it is nice and epic.
Have to go with Lauren Marie, still the sweetest for me.
SUMMERTIME-IS MY FAVORITE I WISH IT WOULDN,T END
hellhole ratrace, cuz everyone wants a boyfriend, a pizza, and a bottle of wine

Hi–it’s gotta be “Laura.”
This would be great, thanks!
Morning Light.
We need more posts like this!
Laura. it’s my twin sis’s name and seems to be the name of many unrequited or unfulfilled loves (petrarch, dr. zhivago)
