A band that impressed greatly with their latest offering, Girlpool are an act unlike any other. Daringly stripping back their sound in line with an over-arching conceptual idea that was integral to the album, the Philadelphia based two piece amassed favourable reviews for Before The World Was Big (including our own 7/10 verdict.) Preparing to embark on their biggest UK tour to date in September, they’ve released the video for the concise ‘Magnifying Glass.’
Brimming with the kind of whimsical and juvenile melodies that are the cornerstone of the aforementioned album, ‘Magnifying Glass’ may be fleeting, but it’s nonetheless enjoyable. Containing nothing more than a solitary guitar and their saccharine vocal harmonies, it would most certainly work as an effective introduction to the band’s core principles for those that are unfamiliar.
Before The World Was Big is available now via Wichita, whilst those looking to catch the band perform live can do so on the dates listed below.
