Girls: Music From The HBO Original Series Vol. 1 [OST] (CD)
Various Artists
Amoeba Review
01/07/2013
True to its show, the soundtrack for HBO’s “Girls” is a snapshot of current music a mid-20s city girl might be spinning. You have the requisite sparkling synth-pop of “Dancing on My Own” by Robyn, used so well on the show when Hannah learns to accept that she has HPV and that her ex-boyfriend is gay. The soundtrack moves between amenable folk, like Harper Simon’s Elliott Smith-ish “Wishes and Stars” and Fleet Foxes winsome “Montezuma,” and alternative dance pop by Icona Pop, White Sea and Oh Land. The choices here are somewhere between adventurous and safe, making the soundtrack an ideal sampler to newer sounds for listeners weaned on radio pop, as well as an easy way to pick up a batch of quality indie hits. Jessa would totally approve.
