Stand Atlantic Announce New Album “Was Here” with New Bop ‘GIRL$’ feat. PVRIS & Bruses
It feels like a good day to announce an album – just saying!
Stand Atlantic have been back in the country since Good Things Festival last year and in that time they’ve finished writing and recording their new album Was Here – scheduled for release on August 23rd via Hopeless Records.
The band are continuing in their drive and motivation to not meet expectations. The former pop punk act have wowed crowds across the world and are just fine with not fitting into any preconceived expectations surrounding their music – their keeping us on our toes mentality is awesome, as we don’t know what to expect next.
Following on from the release of their 2022 album f.e.a.r. and previously standalone singles ‘kill[h]er‘, ‘SEX ON THE BEACH‘ and ‘Warz0ne‘, the awesome foursome are back with ‘GIRL$‘ – an alluring rocky jam that’s boasting guest spots from LYNN GUNN of PVRIS and Mexican alt-pop superstar Bruses.
The choice of collaborators was something close to vocalist Bonnie Fraser‘s heart, as she explains:
“i feel like the message of the song speaks for itself, i wanted to show my appreciation for women and personally, my experience growing up knowing i was attracted to women but still feeling like i had to fit the mold of the male gaze, just based on the way i was influenced by a male dominated society.
i hope other queer women and women in general resonate with this track, but also anyone in between. i wrote it for anyone who’s ever felt squashed by the strange and subtle pressures society can place on young people based off old as shit paradigms.
that being said, having lynn (pvris) and amalia (bruses) on this track made it so much more meaningful to me personally. both female, queer and talented artists i respect so much. making this music video was a friggen gas, me and lynn both had the same idea independently of each other when she agreed to be on the track – ‘lets be old ladies’. im sure ppl expected us all to be selling sex and queer baiting the shit out of this – so we did what any rap video would do, but as old ladies.”
The end result will have you in stitches, grooving along. Check out the video below and get your album pre-orders in for Stand Atlantic‘s fourth outing which also features a highly-anticipated collab with Polaris; eaged eyed fans would know Bonnie hooked up with Dan from Polaris when Mike Shinoda hand-picked them both for a special solo/Linkin Park performance back in October.
