girlsareshort was an electronic pop group from mississauga , ontario , formed in 1998 by alex puodziukas , aka al-p , daniel zabawa and david regan .
girlsareshort released the 9-track album `` contact kiss '' in 2002 on hi-hat recordings and the 14-track album `` earlynorthamerican '' on upper class recordings in 2003 .
the latter album included snippets of untrained youth choirs and samples of people giggling , contributing to its theme of what `` exclaim ! ''
described as an `` ode to summertime bliss and childlike innocence '' .
popmatters reviewed the `` earlynorthamerican '' as `` a mixed bag , an album that wants to be more than the sum of its parts '' .
al-p described the band as a `` weirdo '' project .
the style anticipated the merging of electronic music with indie rock , as happened with such bands as broken social scene .
