girlpuppy, the musical project from Atlanta, GA’s Becca Harvey, shares the new video for “Windows” directed by Trent Wayne (MJ Lenderman, Sinai Vessel). “Windows” is the newest girlpuppy single available now on Captured Tracks.
Inspired in part by the dreamy sonics of Yo La Tengo, the gauzy and melodically stunning “Windows” captures the bittersweet sadness of a breakup—the way memories of a past partner linger no matter how hard you try to move on, knowing they’re likely feeling the same. The bridge pays homage to one of girlpuppy’s all-time favorite songs, Fleetwood Mac’s “Silver Springs,” adding a personal and nostalgic touch. As the chorus repeats a refrain of ‘you’ (“you, you-u-u-u, you, you, you, you”), girlpuppy reflects on the relationship with a sense of love and acceptance, embracing the beauty of what was.
Becca Harvey shares: “My friend Tom (who plays bass and piano on the track) describes ‘Windows’ as ‘the most girlpuppy song he’s ever heard.’ I’m in love with this song instrumentally because it reminds me of Yo La Tengo, who I was listening to so much of while making this single. ‘Windows’ is about the sadness of a breakup and how no matter how hard you try, you still find things that remind you of your past partner and you know they’re going through the same thing.”
