Frontman Christopher Owens has a backstory that is the stuff of legend: He was raised in a cult before being taken under the wing of a millionaire. It's a tale of tragedy and triumph so bizarre it's no surprise his musical output similarly straddles ragged heartache and twinkling, life-affirming joy. These towering highs and guttural lows profoundly inform Girls' output, the band's ethereal, buzzy dream pop—all heartbroken whispers and flickering acoustic guitars—adding hazy edges to their Beach Boys-inspired indie.
