Trouser Press: They may not be girls, but this elusive trio does hail from Sun City, Arizona. (It's a bit northwest of Phoenix.) From raga-rock to saxophone squawk, the fractious pieces on their hallucinatory debut album convene into coherent groupings beneath Alan Bishop's avant-political rantings. From utterly riveting to impossibly muddled, the seventeen sketchy tracks include "Uncle Jim" (a ranting monologue with jazz guitar and sax); "My Painted Tomb" (a raga with toy piano), the impressive "Your Bible Set off My Smoke Alarm" and "Metaphors in a Mixmaster" (presents free-form guitar improvisation). Bewildering, aggravating and intriguing, Sun City Girls is an imposing bow.
