Girlpool Share Two New Songs, “Lucy’s” and “Where You Sink”

Girlpool have shared a pair of gorgeous new songs, “Lucy’s” and “Where You Sink,” before they head off on a North American tour with Porches. It’s the duo’s first new crop of songs since their Dev Hynes-produced single “Picturesong” was released in February.

“Lucy’s” and “Where You Sink” share a subdued, thrumming beauty that is anchored by the band’s signature vocal harmonies. Co-vocalists Harmony Tividad and Cleo Tucker each get their moment to shine, with Tividad’s ghostly cooing giving “Lucy’s” a haunting weightlessness, and Tucker’s weightier vocals propelling “Where You Sink” onward and upward through layered guitar arpeggios.

Girlpool addressed the meaning behind their new songs in a pair of statements. “I wrote ‘Lucy’s’ a couple of years ago to sort through some droning thoughts about hope, distraction and love,” Tucker said. “These lyrics distinguish a time when my partner would check out from our relationship. I reassured myself that even when they were not present, and I was, that I would be alright.” Of “Where You Sink,” Tividad said the song “explores our fixations on characters in our lives and the projections we create … It’s about loving someone who you don’t really get the chance to know fully because their time is spent trying to get out of their own head, further from reality.”
