Church Girls share a new single before tour

Posted in Tours on April 21, 2022

In advance of an upcoming EU/UK tour, Philly's Church Girls has shared a brand new single: "Telepathic Mind" (via Anchor Eighty Four/Big Scary Monsters).

The indie-punk band released Still Blooms last October.

Speaking to the song's meaning, vocalist Mariel Beaumont explains:

We all get depressed...I still comically buck against it: waking up early every morning and standing in direct sunlight for twenty minutes because a podcast told me that might help. During this particular bout, I knew I was driving my live-in partner a bit crazy with my silent brooding. I've heard telepathic communication doesn't work so well, but I'm a slow learner.
