"Overflows with riffs, hooks, and emotion."
Stereogum
Philadelphia has such a knack for producing perfectly proportioned indie rock, and Church Girls is rising among the ranks of their east coast fellows. Draped in vulnerable lyrics and guitar-driven hooks, Church Girls create a new breed of indie/punk rooted in angsty optimism and bittersweet joy.
Championed by Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, KEXP, & more, their new single 'Telepathic Mind', out today on Big Scary Monsters, 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 overcoming any and all obstacles to become a cohesive, succinctly catchy, and uplifting statement of purpose.
“We all get depressed,” vocalist Mariel Beaumont explains. “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.”
“Rise up at dawn
Staring holes of fire at the sun
Cause I can’t help but think a flame might spark from nothing
From a telepathic mind I could tell you everything I find here
Surges in the wake start from nowhere."
