Parenthetical Girls "A Song for Ellie Greenwich"

• Words: Bryant Rutledge
• Label: Tomlab

Parenthetical Girls, sometimes endearingly referred to as (((GRRRLS))), is actually comprised of four men and one woman, but the band sees a regularly rotating cast of musicians contributing to its music, as evident on its forthcoming Entanglements for Tomlab. As its name might suggest, the release is a dense arrangement of sound, orchestral in style, with synths, organs, accordions, snares, and the odd piano here and there. Combined, these instruments create a composition that hangs in the balance between pop and experimental–with an edge of darkness thrown in for good measure.
