West Indian Girl – 4th & Wall
West Indian Girl is not what I expected when I first heard their band name. I first thought literally it must be a solo artist…I’m not much a fan of band names that usually instills race because it almost makes me want to use stereotypes (it’s hard not to) as to what music I should expect.
Anyway West Indian Girl is actually named after a strain of acid. They are from Los Angeles and they started out as a two-piece band but has slowly put together a full set (including the hot girls 
). I was sent 4th and Wall and after seeing many blogs decided to write a post on West Indian Girl, I figure I should give it a shot.
4th and Wall I would have to describe as mainly as a pop album with solid lyrics. As always the case I dig the mix of male/female vocals. At times it does get annoying the random beats and attempts to be psychedelic…there are some periods without vocals that annoy me. It’s a decent album but I think this band could be more successful with a more simpler sound.
I’m giving this album a 3.5 out of 5. Nothing I can compare it to… but it’s solid with a few tracks I think some people would dig like “Sophia”, “All My Friends” and “Back To You”. “Live In Die in LA” is the only track I’m allowed to post and it is one of their better songs but due to every other blog having only this track I feel discouraged as I like to post different stuff and stand out from the other blogs .
Anyway check out this track it’s pretty decent and it’s possibly a Tupac refernece?
