Girlpool was an indie rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed by friends Avery Tucker and Harmony Tividad.

[5] In his review of this EP, Chris Conaton compared their sound to "an angrier, socially conscious Kimya Dawson.

Mapes described their new sounds as "echoing second-wave emo sourness (“Your Heart”), Britpop jangle (“She Goes By”), and classic alt-rock loud-quiet-loudness throughout".

[17] Sasha Geffen of Pitchfork said about the album, "Weaving in and out of concrete, direct, indie-rock songwriting and meditative, impressionistic dream pop, the record takes up more space than any of Girlpool’s previous music.

It included a write-up from Avery reflecting on making peace with who he used to be, and being a trans man in a band called Girlpool.

[23] In April 2021, Tividad appeared as a grocery store employee in the music video for "Posing in Bondage" by Japanese Breakfast.

[26][27] On January 19, 2022, Girlpool released the song "Lie Love Lullaby" along with a music video directed by Amalia Irons.

[33] Tividad has cited alternative rock bands such as Cocteau Twins and Siouxsie and the Banshees as influences, as well as 2010s solo acts such as Charli XCX and Tyler, the Creator.

[34] The Fader's Shaad D'Souza said that "Los Angeles duo Girlpool write songs about change, and the things we gain or leave behind when moving from one part of life to another.
