Was Little Rock at the turn of the century a stranger, headier, more ambitious place? Was it more fun? I’m perennially haunted by these questions, and if art-rock duo Chinese Girls is any indication, the answers are clearly yes. We’re in luck, though: the band’s recordings are set to be reissued this spring by Drawing Room Records (also home to band member Andrew Morgan’s new project Country Florist). Started at a Halloween party in 1999 by Morgan and Sam Murphy, the band made delay-heavy, energetic post-punk (some of which you can find here). 

Watch some live footage and a rare interview with the band (by T.J. Deeter of The Localist) over at the Towncraft website.
