Following on from their seven limited edition 7" singles on Squirrel Records, and the setting up of their own Next Phase : Normal Records label which, as its debut release at the start of 2017, put out "The Strange Little Lines That Humans Draw In The Dust" CD, gathering all of Girl One And The Grease Guns' recordings up to date...we now bring you "Night Of The Living Electrical Appliances" - a full length, 12 track album release !

Hiding themselves away for a while in their own studio, The Glass Factory, Girl One And The Grease Guns commenced the recording of what was originally going to be a triple album. They then decided that wasn't a good idea at all. In fact, they don't really like albums, in general. So, they're not going to record another one after this. All 12 tracks recorded for this collection, however, were considered to be so satisfactory that they could not resist the urge to release them as a full length debut...and so, that's what they've done.

"Night Of The Living Electrical Appliances" continues the Girl One And The Grease Guns approach to writing and recording - mixing pure electro-pop with more experimental, darker sounding tracks. The pop side of the band is in full force on this LP, with tunes such as "He's A Replicant", "She's A Calculator" and "Emergency (Dial 999)". The moodier, more stripped back and skeletal side of the band is also represented in recordings such as "Telegraph Street", "Mute Your Gums" and the frankly eerie album closer, "(She Sits) In The Freezer". If you're looking for musical influences stored within this package - there's a few of them. Rumour has it they pumped tracks by Cabaret Voltaire, Silicon Teens, and Crash Course In Science, as well as early stuff by Depeche Mode and The Human League into the studio for inspiration. They wanted to give the whole album its own kind of sound - a little bit different from what has gone before, but also, still familiar to anyone who already knows the music of Girl One And The Grease Guns. They're pretty confident that they've managed to achieve that.

The first 50 copies only of this album will be available in a limited edition tin box, complete with artwork design by Jon Aldersea at Goldphone Creative Media. All copies sold after that will be standard CD jewel case with booklet.

Here it is, the last ever Girl One And The Grease Guns release ! After nearly six years, seven 7" singles, one full length album, one 20 track compilation CD, one white label 12" single, no publicity photos, no gigs, and only one interview - the mysterious collective known as Girl One And The Grease Guns are ending their mission. It's completed. There is nothing left to say or do. They're leaving... [more]

"Who exactly are Girl One And The Grease Guns" ? After the passing of nearly 4 years, several people are still asking that very question whenever they listen to any of their single releases. The simple answer is (and has always been) "It Does Not Matter".

The seventh, and final, 7" single release from Girl One And The Grease Guns - and maybe even the best of the whole bunch ! Girl One And The Grease Guns started out as a mysterious combo who refused to play by the rules.....which meant no real band member names, no promo photographs, and no live gigs. Here at Squirrel Records we wondered whether this uncompromising approach would instantly relegate... [more]

Girl One And The Grease Guns continue to deliver dark and moody (but also catchy and poppy) slices of electronic, synth laden goodness - and this latest offering is a worthy addition to their ever increasing discography. "Suburban Robot" is a natural follow-on from their previous 7", Bashed, Beaten And Broken (Trip The Switch) b/w Made Out Of Perspex. There's a real sense of menace in this track... [more]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 singles in - and Girl One And The Grease Guns are on a roll. Bashed, Beaten And Broken (Trip The Switch) is possibly their darkest sounding song yet. With its dystopia soaked lyrics, dirty doom laden synths and pendulum-like beat that seems to be counting the seconds down to something unpleasant, the whole thing stirs up images of dimly lit streets, looming tower blocks, glass strewn...

Girl One And The Grease Guns released their debut 7" last year. After that, they released 2 more in 2013, and now, here we have the 4th one. The previous 7", (Here Come The) Catastrophe Machines b/w Hitting The Brick Wall sold out in just 3 weeks....officially the fastest selling thing Squirrel Records has ever put out there. That single was a combination of blistering, politically charged noise... [more]

Bands such as The Jesus And Mary Chain did it using guitars and a fuzz pedal, but Girl One And The Grease Guns use the crackle, fizz and white noise of old analogue synths to create their own brand of screaming feedback overkill on this, their latest 7" offering. Previous releases by this combo only hinted at their willingness to utilise noise and chaos, but (Here Come The) Catastrophe Machines... [more]

In April this year, Squirrel Records released the debut 7" from Girl One And The Grease Guns. It went on to be one of the fastest selling 7"s we've ever unleashed on the world. Now, this mysterious collective deliver their follow-up... another 7" release which continues the electro pop approach of the previous single... but this one is even better.

Who are Girl One And The Grease Guns ? The names on the 7" sleeve simply say they're Sissy Space Echo, Warren Betamax, Charles Bronson Burner and Bruce LeeFax. What they play in the band doesn't really matter, but even the quickest listen to what is held within the grooves of this jet black slab of wax will reveal Sissy Space Echo is certainly the vocalist, at the very least. The names are great,... [more]
