Tallahassee, FL. (Top40 Charts/ NativeSun Records) - Glam-Wave darlings, Girls on Film, spent a good part of 2007 in the studio working on the follow up to their 2005 debut album, Danceteria. This spring, the Girls are gearing up for a series of performances to promote the official release of their second studio recording, the Get Close to Me EP. The band worked with Mike Stephens of Stereomaster Studios to pump out this neon ear candy, the result of which is a little more raw and edgier than Danceteria, but still contains all the same elements that define their style. Since the release of their first full-length album, Florida's Girls on Film have polished their signature sound, 'Dancetronic Glam Wave,' the fashion-fueled combination of high-energy stage antics and synthpop beats that have made the band's live show a must-see in the Southeast since their inception in 2002. The 5-song EP is chock full of memorable hooks and perfectly exhibits the band's new-wave inspired sound that straddles the line between retro and postmodern. Song themes cover such topics as triangulated love, deceit, and sexual angst, but lead singer Rio's carefully calculated lyrics are sharp shooting and sophisticated. The EP's single, 'Distressed', features the driving rhythms, icy synth-wave hooks, and quirky vocals that Girls on Film have become known for. Overall, the Get Close to Me EP combines a rhythmic, sensual whiff of nostalgia with progressive ideas and is a surprisingly modern-sounding album that brings a rock-and-roll attitude back to dance music.
