People will do some crazy shit to get someone to notice them. That longing from afar can manifest into some awkward things, like in Girlpool’s “It Gets More Blue,” in which they’ll go as far as fake “global warming just to get close to you.” Of course, there are more traditional acts of devotion, too, like reading the books, drinking the drinks. For their sophomore album, the L.A. duo has filled out their sound with a drummer and is evoking the feel of iconic ’90s indie rock. The music is louder, it’s more devoted, but it maintains their intimate harmonies, and that sensitivity that’s so damn relatable.
