Girlpool announce new album 'What Chaos Is Imaginary', share lead single 'Hire'

The Los Angeles indie rock duo return with an album that sees them evolve from their early DIY roots, incorporating synths, drum machines and even a string octet into the mix
PUBLISHED NOV 14, 2018

While fans of Girlpool are still reeling from their highly acclaimed 2017 sophomore album 'Powerplant', the Los Angeles indie rock duo have announced yet another new album to arrive early next year. Titled 'What Chaos Is Imaginary', Girlpool's third studio effort is reportedly the result of years spent fine-tuning the craft of creating music in a digital world. It's set for release February 1, 2019, via Anti-Records.

In anticipation of the release, Girlpool shared the lead single from the album, titled 'Hire'. Driven by a syncopated off-kilter drum beat and full-rounded acoustic guitars, the song sees the duo of Harmony Tividad and Cleo Tucker depart from their DIY sound towards a more crisp, focused effort. The lyrics remain abstract but evocative. “Will I make the matinée with my newest life and be that bright time/ Advertise what makes you crazy so I can second guess my focus, are you gonna hire me?” Tucker sings on the opening verse. Listen to the new single below:
