Gurr - In My Head (Duchess Box Records) 2016
8
Berlin duo Gurr Andreya Casablanca and Laura Lee place themselves in the genre of First Wave Gurrlcore, and that might be totally correct… In My Head is a dynamic and exhilarating rock n’roll energy bowl, sounds ambitious and so damn good and natural. Fresh and joyful in every single way, Gurr’s youthful sound is straight-forward and immediate, their simplistic composition is exact and disarming lyrics are infectious and works well like an addiction. Somewhere between Chastity Belt, Bratmobile and Those Dancing Days, Gurr’s stylish debut album cannot fail to please. With anthems like “Moby Dick”, “Free”, “Walnuss” or even “Rollerskate”, there’s no such thing as compromise, just gleeful reinvention.
