This quality shines through on this release, and the result is one of the most unique records released last year. Messy men, pretentious douche bags and underwater living are some of the hilarious stories\/issues addressed on this gem. The delivery is straightforward but comes off with an amazing laid-back fun vibe. This album will translate incredibly well to a live setting, and coupled with the Girth\u2019s live show, some good times will be had when these guys hit the stage. \u201cSeriously Not Serious\u201d demonstrates the feel you get from the entire album, as Steve Basham sings \u201cI\u2019m at my best when I\u2019m a mess and art\u2019s an afterthought.\u201d The Girth do not take themselves too seriously and as a result we get an album that is immensely entertaining in its catchiness and hilarity. Highlights \u201cMessy Man\u201d and \u201cI\u2019ll Cut You,\u201d the former with its goofy voice and the latter with its awesomeness, are great examples of the storytelling and songwriting that make this local act one to check out.
