Press photo by Alex Lang  Today, Trousdale, the Los Angeles heavenly harmonic trio, the Powerpuff Girls of pop-country, release their sophomore album Growing Pains via Independent Co. For the trio made up of Quinn D’Andrea, Georgia Greene, and Lauren Jones, the ache of growing through change resonates deeply. Like certain long nights of childhood where growing pains can feel like every inch is aching, cramping, pinching, Trousdale understands the feeling that comes with facing down existential anxiety, and matters of the heart. “We’ve been thinking a lot about the tension that comes with change, wanting it, fighting it, embracing it, but learning to thrive in that moment,” shares Jones.  D’Andrea expands that sentiment saying, “From what was, something new can always grow.”  As good as Trousdale sounds when they lean into their gold-hued pop, the group work their country flair into the material more masterfully than ever before. Across 12 remarkable tracks, Growing Pains stares down all the weight of its title, a trio of strong, independent women confronting the threats of loneliness, broken hearts, loss, and more, and converting it into transformative, uplifting music.  Trousdale shared that, “Making 'Growing Pains' has been a journey of growth and reinvention. Going into it, we knew we wanted to work smarter, not harder. We poured our hearts into the music, and also allowed ourselves the freedom to collaborate with incredible musicians and lean on others for support. The first album was a labor of love, but we overthought everything and took our time. With 'Growing Pains,' we made a conscious effort to keep it simple, to enjoy the process, and to trust the people around us. It’s been a humbling reminder that asking for help can make all the difference. ‘Growing Pains’ is about being on the cusp of transformation, and learning to thrive in the discomfort of something that might be hard in the moment, but is ultimately good for you.” The new album was primarily recorded live in the room and co-produced by the band and John Mark Nelson, with co-writing talent lent to them from Mags Duval and Lawrence Rothman. The trio utilized a live rhythm section on this record, resulting in a more cohesive and tighter sound than they’ve ever had before.

Along with today’s album, Trousdale releases an official video for “Lonely Night” directed by Giovanna Trujillo and Sworn Friend Studios. Dressed in a warm glow, each member of the trio is seen singing alone, flashing from one person to the next. Jones shared that, “‘Lonely Night’ is about making the decision to pull yourself out of that funk. There’s so much power in self-messaging, and sometimes the push you need can come from within.” — Watch the official video.

 PRAISE FOR GROWING PAINS “These three absolutely excel when it comes to their harmonies, and ‘Growing Pains’ offers plenty of space for them to shine; with rollicking electric guitar and a ’90s country tone to the chorus, the difficulty of the transitional phases of life has never sounded quite so sweet.” — CONSEQUENCE “Melding pop beats with country harmonies and folk instrumentation, Trousdale truly is one of a kind.” — ONES TO WATCH “Beautifully emotive” — HOLLER “Sweet, sassy, charming, and churning, ‘Growing Pains’ radiates that same heat and sun-soaked passion we first fell in love with five years ago.” — ATWOOD MAGAZINE “A little bit country and a little bit low-fi pop, this sassy trio will win you over with its charming harmonies.” — RIFF MAGAZINE “...a rising country-pop trio known for their heavenly harmonies and quirky personalities.” — KTLA Beginning in a few short weeks, Trousdale will set out on their headline tour of both North America and Europe, with many shows already sold out.
