A new year, a new single from Girls. Laura is probably our favorite track from the album. Such a ripper! At this point, you’ve probably heard enough of us going on and on about our love for this thing so just know that the 7″ comes with an exclusive b-side, the haunting and heartbreaking “Oh, Boy”.

Laura (256k mp3)
Laura (FLAC)

Girls are also embarking on yet another US tour with some of our favorite bands right now, Magic Kids, Smith Westerns and Hunx and His Punx. A real family jam. The tour culminates Valentines Day, which features all four bands and marks the almost two-year anniversary of Girls’ first show ever at Cafe Du Nord. Just found this old post from back in the day and got a little teary-eyed.

Girls stopped by the beautiful KCMP studios in St. Paul, Minnesota this last weekend and dropped three beautiful, melancholy jams for a still and crisp aired Midwestern afternoon. Their versions of “Ghostmouth” and “Lauren Marie” sound extra gauzy and lush in the room ordinarily used for recording classical music, a performance of non-album track “Heartbreaker” takes the whole thing over the top. Thanks to The Current for being such great hosts and making these songs sound so good!

Despite just finishing up a 5-week tour of the UK and Europe and being halfway through a nationwide tour, Girls bring you MORE TOUR DATES. This time they’ll be traveling through the southwest, southern states and back across the midwest, through fog, sleet, snow, and corn mazes they will come to you America. The band went to a few of these cities last August, supporting Los Campesinos! A lot has changed since then, these last few months have been incredible and we’re all excited to see what the new year has in store!

Along for almost the entire trip are the awesome MAGIC KIDS, from Memphis, Tennessee.

Tour dates below. Dates for the current U.S. tour even further down.
