Draped in vulnerable lyrics and obsessive hooks, Philly’s Church Girls plays a new breed of indie/punk rooted in angsty optimism and bittersweet joy that’s been acclaimed by Alternative Press, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, KEXP, & more.
Their new single, “Telepathic Mind,” comes on the heels of their Oct 2021 LP, Still Blooms, their most emotionally affecting album yet — devastating in one moment, ebullient the next, and yet overcoming any and all obstacles to become a cohesive, succinctly catchy, and uplifting statement of purpose.
Vocalist Mariel Beaumont shares more about the track:
“We all get depressed. I still comically buck against it: waking up early every morning and standing in direct sunlight for twenty minutes because a podcast told me that might help. During this particular bout, I knew I was driving my live-in partner a bit crazy with my silent brooding. I’ve heard telepathic communication doesn’t work so well, but I’m a slow learner.”
Church Girls will also be embarking on their EU/UK tour on April 27. Dates below:
