Girl Tines Have ‘Pretty Faces’
With much anticipation, high-energy rock duo Girl Tones today announce that their debut album Precious is set for release on November 6. After locking listeners in the orbit of their bulldozing early singles and pocketing their fair share of early accolades, Girl Tones’ first full-length body of work was produced by Brad Shultz of Cage The Elephant and will be released on his label, Parallel Vision, in partnership with Big Loud Rock. It’s the sound of a band unapologetically embracing creative and personal freedom, never letting go, and encouraging you to do the same — Pre-save.
Proving once again that they aren’t messing around, today’s news is paired with the muscular new single “Pretty Face.” Palm-muted guitar trails confident vocals across a snotty punkified verse as the song chronicles seeing through the shallowness when people’s masks begin to slip. Girl Tones is a band that never wants to do something just to be conventional
“So many people will hide who they are just to be accepted,” the band’s drummer Laila sighs. “Why try to fit in? What does it really add up to?”
“We tracked this one later in the process,” singer and guitarist Kenzie adds. “It’s heavy, and it puts a stamp on things. To me, it makes a declaration, ‘Listen, we’re not here to play’.”
Today also sees the release of an official video for “Pretty Face.” Directed by Emily Buchwald and filmed in a wig store, the result is a perfect step into the world of Girl Tones
Girl Tones have staked their claim as one of the most exciting new acts to see live and continue to defend it. Already this year, they have toured in support of Dexter and The Moonrocks, Peter McPoland and The Rare Occasions. With festival season well underway, they have performed at SXSW, Treefort, The Great Escape, Bottlerock, Outside Days and Bonnaroo with Just Like Heaven coming up next weekend.
Announced today, Girl Tones will set out on their first ever headline tour this November in support of their new album. Highlights include Mercury Lounge in New York City, DC9 in Washington, DC, and more. See all upcoming dates here and below.
