Release Notes:
'Rivals' is the new single from beguiling post-punk pop
princess Theoretical Girl and is that rare beast, a song that
as both heartbreaking and danceable in equal measure. With its
ESG-a-like bass line and swooping string score topped off with
Amy Turnridge's delicate vocals, Rivals is a tale of
friendship disappointed, the regret and calamity of binds
unbound. As Amy is keen to point out 'Rivals is most
definitely not about anything as boring as being disappointed
by a boy. Again'.
Taking inspiration from as diverse sources as 60s girl groups,
ESG, and even the classic twee pop of Sarah Records, Amy's
hands on approach is surely a testament to her DIY roots -
when she's not multi-tasking on bass, keys, guitar and vocals
shes arranging and scoring the strings. 'Rivals' is a follow
up to previous singles 'Another Fight' and 'The Hypocrite',
which both met with rave reviews and sold out on 7÷ vinyl
within days of release.
Holed up in a studio somewhere in North London, she has just
finished recording her eagerly anticipated debut album, which
is set for release later this summer.
