Low Girl - 'Pockets'
Arriving with their first new music since acclaimed EP ‘Uh-Oh’ - Low Girl are back with fresh single ‘Pockets’.
The band will embark on a string of UK dates through Sept/Oct as they prepare for their next body of work. 'Pockets' recalls a lo-fi Chvches, again cementing vocalist Sarah Cosgrove's melodic range and lyrical dexterity.
On the new single Low Girl say: "Pockets is about trying to repress something that constantly resurfaces. It’s all about the allure of the ‘what-if’ and it’s a rose-tinted way of viewing those possibilities. My life was all over the place when I wrote this track, and there was a real sense of anticipation and being on the edge of something.
I’m grappling with trying to figure out who this person I’ve bloomed into is, all the while trying to find some tangible light to look to. There’s an element of deluding yourself into believing in an impossible dream. I imagine this warm, settled imagery of the afternoon and how I feel like I never quite reach it.
My way of coping with all of those issues has been to write something where I kind of trivialise and try and laugh about it. Is that healthy? Who knows!"
