Girlpool sign to ANTI- for second record Powerplant, unveil lead single "123"
Girlpool have shared "123", the first single from their upcoming album Powerplant - their debut for new label ANTI-.
The album was recorded last summer in Los Angeles with Drew Fischer. Harmony Tividad and Cleo Tucker this time brought in drummer Miles Wintner for the process, adding percussion for the first time.
"As a society I feel that we perceive softness and vulnerability as traits that are 'weak,' and people emotionally disconnect themselves in order to avoid going through everything they feel," Tividad says of the LP's content. "I think what is most important right now is empathy, and in order to have empathy we must first feel what we, ourselves, feel."
Powerplant is the follow up to 2015's striking debut Before The World Was Big.
