The Vibration is a nice reclamation of Riot Grrrl gumption and anti-chops dogma, brought round to pure energised emotion. The playing gets more confident as the songs sprawl out, eschewing current indie tricks (thank God, no synth player!) while Fitzgerald's Wire-like chanted-crooning phrasing concentrates on emotional relationship laments, sounding not defeated, but simply more determined. It's nth-generation blues, with a demurely cocky self-knowledge of the kind women have monopolised in guitar rock for years now.

"Amarilla" is raw, sauntering guitar churn and rolling drums, calling to mind moody early '90s mashers like Scrawl, Slant Six, or Sleater-Kinney in its more reflective moments.
