Occasionally, no matter how busy the Splendid offices are, a new CD makes the trip from mailbox to CD player in a matter of seconds. Such was the case with The Invisible Girl. We've eagerly awaited a full-length from Fonda since we first heard their Music for Beginners EP, and we're pleased to say that The Invisible Girl doesn't disappoint. The band's cheery, mildly psychedelic mix of farfisa organ drone and Lush-style pop has been beefed up a bit in the guitar department, giving the songs a more solid foundation without lessening their unique sixties/nineties sense of fun. "Summer Holiday" is a boisterous party classic, with singalong-friendly vocals from Emily Cook and David Klotz, who do the girl/boy split vocals thing with gobs of aplomb. Once you've tired yourself out by dancing to the disc's first few tracks, you'll enjoy the breathily sunny simplicity of "The Young Lovers" and "Mr. & Mrs.", which should please anyone who's typically drawn to Minty Fresh, March, Tricatel or Le Grand Magistery fare. "Forever and Never," which is opus-length by Fonda's three-minute-wonder standards, provides a fittingly expansive close to the disc. You won't want it to end, but at least it does it well. Clearly Fonda have taken the old "leave 'em wanting more" rule to heart; this disc could easily live in your CD player so long that you'll need to start charging it rent.
