Girlpool, the LA-based duo of Avery Tucker and Harmony Tividad, has returned today with a single titled “Faultline.” It’s a dreamy contemplation on pleasure and its consequences. “The Faultline represents everything you do as a means of escape that pushes you further into the very thing you’re escaping,” Tividad said of the single.
It’s filled with evocative lines like, “I hold my body like a butcher knife,” and “You tell me you would die to breathe me in.” Tividad sings in seductive coos over slow-tapping drums and radiating synths. “Until I can’t manage this appetite / I loved you so traumatically that I / Can barely lift the world you left for me,” goes one poignant line at the song’s end.
The single comes with a video co-directed by Girlpool and Julian Klincewicz. In it, Tividad appears angelic in a white corset before spreading her wings over the city. We’re left with a cliffhanger as a mysterious car pulls up. Hopefully, it signals more to come from the duo!
Watch “Faultline” below.
