2015. Girlpool by Alice Baxley

After announcing its upcoming tour with Waxahatchee and the release of a new seven-inch, punk two-piece Girlpool has released a music video for the track “Chinatown.”

Bandmates Cleo Tucker and Harmony Tividad go on a journey through LA’s Chinatown in the new video, sitting on kiddie rides and checking out gift shops along the way. It’s an appropriately charming offering for the relatively subdued song from the punk duo, featuring Tucker and Tividad’s delightfully imperfect harmonizing and sparse, lo-fi guitar strumming.

“Chinatown” is available to pre-order digitally and on vinyl now, and the seven-inch will be available starting March 24 (via Wichita Recordings).
