girlfriends (Travis Mills + Nick Gross) has released two brand new tracks called “High Again” and “Toaster for a Swim” off their upcoming album (e)motion sickness which is due out on June 17th via Big Noise.
(e)motion sickness is the highly anticipated follow-up to the bands’ self-titled debut, which was produced by John Feldmann (5 Seconds Of Summer, blink-182, The Used), and included standout tracks like “California,” “Where Were You” (featuring Travis Barker), and “Jessica.” Girlfriends conjure songs that are once pleasingly familiar, warmly unique and passionately vulnerable and (e)motion sickness is just that.
“This is the most vulnerable I’ve been through my music,” Mills says. “The music I made in the past was fun, but it wasn’t an accurate representation of anything I was going through in my life. I had profound experiences and tragic losses, but I didn’t talk about them. I struggled with severe anxiety and depression. So, there’s a lot in girlfriends’ songs that I’ve never said before. This kind of music really allows those topics to come to life and accentuate them.”
The two new tracks follow “Missing You” and “Pretty Mouth,” which will also be included on the new album. Channeling the anguish of a breakup into a pure cathartic release, the tracks soar with molten intensity.
We recently had half of girlfriends Travis Mills as a guest on The All Punked Up Podcast where we talked about everything from tattoos, MTV, blink-182, touring, and their upcoming album.
