Today Girlpool have shared “Before The World Was Big,” the lead single and title track for their debut LP, out June 2 on Wichita Recordings.
The Philadelphia by way of Los Angeles duo are following up their critically acclaimed self-titled EP with the release of Before The World Was Big.  The album is available for pre-order now digitally and physically.  Pre-order bundles through the Wichita store include a signed poster (while supplies last).
Last month the band shared “Ideal World“, the first taste of the album, which Pitchfork said “recalls bands like the Breeders circa Pod or the Velvet Underground” and NPR called “full of character.”
Girlpool are also hitting the road with Waxahatchee at the end of the month. All dates below.
