2. That Girl Suicide
Your debut album is not a bad place to make a real statement. That Girl Suicide all at once managed to predict, convey and establish the groups sound and message. Newcombe begins by telling us that he cant explain all the things that Im feeling. By the end though, that naivety is replaced by bitter experience: I know what she wants but shes never going to get it. Make up your mind or youd better forget it. That bi-polar arc is something the band have kept to this day, and combined with the dreamy guitars, sweet vocal harmonies and timeless quality, you wonder how that nailed it so quickly and effortlessly. http://youtu.be/FOiVm4wneII
