There’s an understated beauty in the everyday – leafy streets, local shopfronts, cafés – the kind of quintessential charm you can only find in a town like Stroud, in the Cotswolds. If that sounds like your kind of retreat or ideal local surroundings, you don’t have to travel there to experience it. Instead, you can be transported there by Girlhood, the acclaimed indie-pop group who drew inspiration from the location’s simple beauty and transformed it into their blissful upcoming ballad, ‘Lemon Aid,’ Out August 21st.
Unveiling the first chapter of their upcoming album, ‘This Will Make Sense In The End,’ ‘Lemon Aid’ also marks the beginning of a newfound partnership between producer, founder and songwriter Christian Pinchbeck and singer Natalie Holmes, who he was encouraged to approach and ask to collaborate after seeing her perform.
That easy-going, inevitable and authentic meeting has seeped into the collection of songs they have created – life-affirming reflections on the clarity and emerging choices that shape our thirties.
At its core, ‘Lemon Aid’ invites you to escape into a summer evening and dance your troubles away, encouraging you to find fleeting freedom in the ordinary. Quietly celebrating the beauty found in familiar places and small moments that often pass unnoticed, it’s a heartfelt soundtrack that continues Girlhood’s trademark cinematic sound with ease.
Originally formed as Elephant, the group’s ethereal nature have drawn comparisons to the likes of Camera Obscura and Daughter. Now, they’re returning to themselves with a renewed sense of purpose, ready to make their mark with a collection of fun, nostalgic, sunlit indie-pop.
Pre-save now, and find sweetness in the everyday with Girlhood.
