ABOUT GIRLPOOL:
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Girlpool is a two piece made up of Cleo Tucker (Guitar) and Harmony Tividad (Bass). The two met at legendary Los Angeles DIY venue the Smell and quickly grew very close. Their sound is raw, comprised only of a guitar, bass and vocal harmonies. Cleo and Harmony use this stripped-down instrumentation to accentuate their vulnerable yet powerful lyrics.
Before The World Was Big, their critically acclaimed debut LP, explores the concepts of growth, friendship, and the interaction between identity and environment. The introspective-punk duo captures growing pains and existential quandaries with a honest and true intention.
PRAISE FOR GIRLPOOL:
"Raw, minimal, yet emotionally fierce... loaded with moments of offhand intimacy and caustic wit." -
Rolling Stone
"Before the World Was Big brims with a mysterious power, a charged and palpable sense of hope and awe... It is a quiet album of uncommon intensity." -Pitchfork
"When Harmony Tividad and Cleo Tucker harmonize, it's like a lightning bolt to the gut." -NPR
"The rawness and vulnerability of their lyrics, combined with their social and political consciousness, both transcend and reflect their youth." -Grantland
"Equal parts radical and sentimental... bristles with the crackling, wistful energy of change and approaching adulthood." -LA Times
