About a Girl is an LP album by Canadian indie pop band Winter Gloves. It was released on 24 March 2009 by Paper Bag Records.
The album was primarily recorded in lo-fi by Charles F., using only one microphone and a combination of amped and unplugged instruments. Errant noises were intentionally mixed into songs to achieve "a pleasant dirty sound".[3] Most of the songs fit in the second wave synthpop genre popularized in the early 2000s,[2] although reviews correlate the song structures and instrumentation to the later revival of dance-punk and electronic dance music in general.
All tracks are written by Charles F.
