Girlpool\u2019s uncompromisingly honest punk is comforting; like an intimate embrace haunted by self-realization. The drumless duo, Cleo Tucker and Harmony Tividad, use driving guitar, raw melodies and pregnant pauses to create a raw and full sound. It\u2019s a new way to look at punk\u2014rather than a hard-edged rebellion it\u2019s a vulnerable yearning. The pair formed as teenagers in L.A. and have since moved to Philadelphia. <\/p>\n

The group isn\u2019t afraid to imagine an \u201cIdeal World\u201d or to look back at wearing matching dresses with mom in \u201cWhen The World Was Small.\u201d Tucker and Tividad\u2019s warm memories take shape into deep, no-nonsense lyrics. Lo-fi production evokes that existential nostalgia\u2014fitting since Girlpool was named after a chapter in Kurt Vonnegut\u2019s Cat\u2019s Cradle. Their first full-length album, Before The World Was Big, is out now and wanders through delicate emotions with candid and simple arrangements.<\/p>\n
