Girlpuppy – Since April
Today girlpuppy, the musical project from Atlanta, GA’s Becca Harvey, shares “Since April,” the newest single from her upcoming full-length album, titled Sweetness, due for release March 28, 2025 on Captured Tracks. Sweetness is a raw and deeply personal exploration of the emotions that follow a breakup, touching on themes of grief, transformation, and growth. Written in the wake of a four-year relationship, Harvey’s songwriting unfolds like a journal—honest, detailed, and emotionally resonant.
girlpuppy will celebrate the release of Sweetness with select Record Release Shows in Atlanta, New York City, and Los Angeles, plus newly confirmed appearances at Dot To Dot Festival in the UK this May
Crafted with the help of Asheville-based producer and co-writer Alex Farrar, along with additional co-writer Tom Sinclair, “Since April” builds a nostalgic and viscerally satisfying soundscape. Powered by thick layers of distorted guitar, thunderous drums reminiscent of the pop-punk anthems of her youth, and irresistibly bittersweet hooks (“every day is hard / every single day”), the song channels both raw defiance and longing.
Reflecting on the track, girlpuppy shares: “I wrote this song very early in my breakup when I was grieving ‘every single day.’ The original demo was so different from what Alex and I ended up creating, but I love this version so much more. It brings an attitude to the song that transforms it beyond just sad lyrics and chords.”
The release of “Since April” comes accompanied by a video directed by Miles Robbins. According to Becca Harvey: “I had so much fun making this video with Miles and the rest of the team. I think it makes the song hit harder and perfectly displays the suffering I was going through when I wrote it.”
Director Miles Robbins shares: “‘Since April’ captures the feeling of arduously bearing the weight of a bitter breakup. I wanted to make something to visually capture how that feeling is so dramatic but self-contained. In the video, girlpuppy punches the clock at an absurd facility, where she conducts a series of torments and unpleasant experiments on herself (paying homage to a few favorite pieces of endurance art) while the void of her lover passively watches. I worked with Becca and our amazing production designers Yisel Garcia and Sadie Spezzano to build a little, handmade, Trecartin-inspired set, and shot everything with consumer cameras (MiniDV/Super 8.) It was such a fun and scrappy way to make something and I think that playfulness comes through in the piece.”
