Following some late-2021 teasers, Girlpool have now confirmed plans for their fourth and "most ambitious" studio album, Forgiveness, which is due to land via ANTI- on April 29.
The LA duo of Avery Tucker and Harmony Tividad enlisted producer Yves Rothman for the effort, which finds the group "embracing weirdo-pop decadence without sacrificing the poetic curiosity that has always made their music so absorbing." The band first previewed the new material with "Faultline," and have now dropped new single "Lie Love Lullaby" alongside an Amalia Irons-directed video.
"'Lie Love Lullaby' is a song about a time where I felt that my innocence affected my ability to choose a person who was good for me," Tucker said of the track.
"In the past, it's been painful to choose somebody that didn't believe in me, and I think the most painful part was that I allowed myself to pick a person that didn't recognize my entirety," he continued. "I wrote this song wondering, did I recognize it myself? If I had the wherewithal to tolerate their minimizing perspective?"
Peep the video for "Lie Love Lullaby" below, where you'll also find the album's tracklisting.
Girlpool's last album was 2019's What Chaos Is Imaginary.
