Though it may at first appear to be little more than a gimmick, in truth the decision to split what probably would have been one lengthier record into two more concise ones reaps many benefits for the latest City Girl endeavour(s). Despite Siren of the Formless being in many ways a better summation of City Girl’s various talents than its partner Goddess of the Hollow, both are astonishingly consistent releases, each with their own separate ambience, themes, and merits. City Girl is far from the first artist to employ such a tactic, but one would be hard-pressed to find a duet of albums as contiguous and interwoven as these, and that they originate in such an unlikely genre only adds to their appeal. If anything, these twin records only prove more certainly that the ill-founded critiques leveled against lo-fi hip hop are largely unfounded; beyond that, the only thing certain of the next City Girl release is that it will likely be even more impressive and ingenious than one could ever expect.
