I must confess, I was disappointed by Allie X's new album, Girl With No Face. Not because it was in any way bad, but because I just hadn't expected her to take things in such a dark, early 80s electro direction and, as such, wasn't ready for it. I may change my mind in time, but for now, it's not for me. 'Galina' is, for me, the album's standout track and I feel like it represents a nod to the crystalline pop of X's previous outings, especially Super Sunset, and despite (or perhaps because of) its overwhelming sense of grief, it is a flawless slice of sophisticated electro pop.
