RICH GIRLS, “Better”

New York duo Rich Girls deliver a dark, propulsive rocker with “Better.” From the twisty opening guitar riff, the sonic wall slowly builds, adding glimpses of thunderous drums until crashing over the third verse. The New York duo builds a moody atmosphere with minimalist lyrics like “Bend the light/You’re dead tonight” and singer Luisa Black’s staccato delivery of “Holding up.” The “better” you feel by the end of the song might be more of a release of tension than a sunny disposition, as Rich Girls intensify their manic post-punk sound to its limit and bow out on a natural high.
