The obnoxiously basic production on Perth Girls sounds like someone dicked around on GarageBand for half a second, with Abbe May embracing an aesthetic closer to torch singer than rock star. It’s pop music with a dearth of melody. It’s uneasy, but not due to a strive for the psychosexual. It’s uneasy just because it doesn’t sound any good.
