Third album from the Los Angeles duo, and the one where Girlpool traded their stripped-down early setup for full-band indie rock, jangly guitars and fuzz included. It's also the first record made after Avery Tucker came out as trans and started testosterone, a shift that shapes the songs about growing up and shedding old habits. Pitchfork called out the balance between straight guitar-pop writing and looser, more impressionistic stretches. Grab it for the turn, not just the backstory.
