Skipping Girl Vinegar


Skipping Girl Vinegar are a Melbournian group that call themselves "an old world, alt-acoustic four-piece" that's obsessed with melody and pop-hook. The band, which is composed of brother-sister duo Mark and Sare Lang and their childhood friends Chris Helm and Amanthi Lynch, got its name from the Skipping Girl Vinegar sign that resigns in Australia. Their debut album Sift The Noise was recorded in bedrooms, various studios, kitchens, living rooms and a beach shack. The album is full of uplifting and personal moments, from the track about the passing of Langs' parents during the midst of recording the album ("The Passing") to the joyous handclap ruckus that led to their first big hit in Australia ("One Chance"). As a whole, the album grounds itself on its sincerity and rises with fantastic lyrics and pure talent, and, as you can see above, they package it well to boot. What's not to like?
