girlpuppy - I Just Do
A blistering return from Becca Harvey's girlpuppy project today, alongside the announcement of a brand new LP to be released shortly, at the end of March, via the ever-excellent Capture Tracks label. 'Sweetness', released March 28th, was made with Alex Farrar, who's previously worked with the likes of MJ Lenderman, Indigo De Souza, Snail Mail, Waxahatchee, Fust, Truth Club, Squirrel Flower - and carries sweet hints of all those esteemed names.
Tip-toeing into frame, all gentle percussion and building tension, the song soon bursts into a woozy swirl of thick, fuzzy guitars and yearning vocals; a heady outpouring of syrupy softness and sweeping sentiments.
“I wrote this song after spending 6 days in Los Angeles with a guy I had an all consuming crush on," Harvey says of the song. "It’s just about that feeling of knowing you’re wasting your time by developing feelings for someone who is completely emotionally unavailable, but you do it anyway because it feels good. I wrote this entire song and then recorded a voice note of me singing it acapella in my bathtub (where I get lots of inspiration for songs).”
Not much else to say. It's big and sweet and infectiously fun, and I'm looking forward to whatever else my follow.
