The Scissor Girls were a Chicago collective that centered around keyboardist Azita Youssefi and drummer Heather Melowicz.
The music on We People Space With Phantoms (Atavistic, 1996), their only album, concocted a schizoid mixture of art punk, funk, avantgarde electronic music and improvised jams.
The longest and busiest tracks, evoked everybody from God Is My Co-pilot to early Sonic Youth to John Zorn and Faust.
Here Is The Is Not (Atavistic, 1997) collects two early singles (highly volatile and cartoonish fantasias such as The Mighty I Am) as well as the 10" EP So That You Can Start To See What, which includes what is arguably their masterpiece, the suite Weird 09 (27 minutes).
