Theoretical Girl single and album news!

**jack s**

‘Rivals’ is the new single from beguiling post-punk pop princess Theoretical Girl and is that rare beast, a song that as both heartbreaking and danceable in equal measure. With its ESG-a-like bass line and swooping string score topped off with Amy Turnridge’s delicate vocals, Rivals is a tale of friendship disappointed, the regret and calamity of binds unbound. As Amy is keen to point out “Rivals is most definitely not about anything as boring as being disappointed by a boy. Again”.

Taking inspiration from as diverse sources as 60s girl groups, ESG, and even the classic twee pop of Sarah Records, Amy’s hands on approach is surely a testament to her DIY roots – when she’s not multi-tasking on bass, keys, guitar and vocals shes arranging and scoring the strings. ‘Rivals’ is a follow up to previous singles ‘Another Fight’ and ‘The Hypocrite’, which both met with rave reviews and sold out on 7” vinyl within days of release.

Holed up in a studio somewhere in North London, she has just finished recording her eagerly anticipated debut album, which is set for release later this summer.
