This tune from San Francisco's Girls doesn't sound like puke at all. In fact, it sounds downright calm — or melancholic, you pick and choose — at the beginning. But then it kind of goes into overdrive and turns into a hard-rocking, organ-backed, six-minute-plus jam that's kinda reminiscent of The Dears and then turns into a gospel-drenched...
