googly eyes – paint me like one of your fav american girls
Today, googly eyes releases her new EP, paint me like one of your fav american girls on Pretty Swede, Neon Gold, Virgin.
paint me like one of your fav american girls includes “Bruises On The Peach”, “Made Of”, and “I Don’t Go Out”, as well as “”Feel Like I Died” and “Everywhere.”
In September of 2023, Tove Lo and Flume posted an artist development open call out to new artists on Instagram, and after receiving and reviewing thousands of demos, googly eyes emerged as the dream artist for the opportunity. Now nearly two years on, the fruits of their collaboration bear fruit on “I Don’t Go Out” and “Made Of” ahead of the full forthcoming collaborative EP paint me like one of your fav american girls.
Sitting somewhere between alternative pop and electronic indie, googly eyes delivers glitchy, technicolor, poetic songs of the heart – all 100% written, recorded and produced entirely on her own to this point, best illustrated on googs’ 2024 debut Starlet EP and its breakout singles “Mid-Leap”, “Internet Star” and “Waste of Conversation”. As an artist, songwriter, and producer, googly eyes lives in a sonic world entirely of her own making. With a focus on vocal production, electronic influences, and poetic lyricism, googly eyes paints vivid soundscapes blending raw, human elements with angular, synthetic ones. What began as a project for demos and works in progress has grown into a force of creativity, rich innovation, and play.
“Made Of” and “I Don’t Go Out” mark googly eyes’ latest releases on Pretty Swede Records, an independent label founded in 2022 by Tove Lo. To date, Pretty Swede has released Tove’s 2023 LP Dirt Femme and her collaborative 2024 HEAT EP with SG Lewis. googly eyes’ Starlet EP marked the first release by Pretty Swede outside of Tove’s own artist project.
Pretty Swede Records have signed googly eyes in collaboration with Tove’s longtime collaborators Neon Gold, themselves known for a star-studded history of debut releases, from Tove’s own Truth Serum EP in 2014 (featuring “Habits”) to iconic early releases from Charli XCX, MARINA & The Diamonds, Christine and the Queens, Ellie Goulding and more.
