Swirling Heartache: Listen to Girlpool tear at the senses in new track ‘Cherry Picking’


We keep missing Girlpool.

First the Los Angeles-via-Philly acoustic punk duo of Cleo Tucker and Harmony Tividad were on our short list of must-see artists to catch at SXSW back in March, but well… you know how SXSW goes (Bill Murray found the time, however). Then, the pair were in Cambridge earlier this month opening for Waxahatchee at the Sinclair, and we somehow slept through that one.

Now Girlpool are on the verge of releasing their debut album, Before the World Was Big, out June 2 via Wichita Recordings, and the feeling of regret is at an all-time high. Luckily, the two teens appear to have a nice bit of staying power, and today released another track off the new LP: the heartfelt, one-take-and-go acoustic number “Cherry Picking.”

It’s a gentle track that shows off both its golden allure and cosmic warts, much like real life, and you can listen to it below via the Wichita Soundcloud.

Also check out Girlpool’s full summer run of dates, and don’t be a doofus like us. Go see them live.
