Maybe there's something wrong with associating acoustic with nascence, but this performance, often whispered and attended by a very cute dog and a couple of people who walked by on the sidewalk, seemed like watching Girls' songs—"Summertime," "Solitude," "Darling," "Ghostmouth" and "Morning Light"—being birthed, even if they are already very fully grown. On a rainy day this summer, we got up close and personal with the group, just in from California. They were staying at a nice hotel, they said, and had gotten a good night's sleep. You can see the dew lifting in their head bobs.
