“These three absolutely excel when it comes to their harmonies, and ‘Growing Pains’ offers plenty of space for them to shine; with rollicking electric guitar and a ’90s country tone to the chorus, the difficulty of the transitional phases of life has never sounded quite so sweet.”

“Melding pop beats with country harmonies and folk instrumentation, Trousdale truly is one of a kind.”

“Sonic sunshine”

Arriving partially in light of and partially in spite of Valentine’s Day, Los Angeles’ heavenly harmonic trio Trousdale today release their new single and video “Want Me Back.” The second release taken from their upcoming Growing Pains album, the yearning ballad draws inspiration from Lady A and finds the trio hoping that an ex might be regretting the breakup. Even if it isn’t true, Trousdale just wants to hear something sweet to temporarily patch the wound — Stream.

“I went into our recording session thinking the song would end up straight country, and Quinn and Georgia thought it would be straight pop,” Lauren Jones explains. “Our bassist worked some doo-wop into the mix, and we found something really special to lean into.”

In the official video for “Want Me Back” directed by the trio and Aaron Kohn, Trousdale are clad in their signature colors, but transported back in time to the 1980s for a dreamy, angelic ballad moment — Watch.

Trousdale’s upcoming second LP was primarily recorded live in the room and co-produced by the band and John Mark Nelson. With co-writing talent lent to them from Mags Duval, John Mark Nelson, and Lawrence Rothman, the trio utilized a live rhythm section on this record, resulting in a more cohesive and tighter sound than they’ve ever had before. Across 12 remarkable and relatable tracks, Growing Pains points a finger at the weight of life and offers a light at the end of the tunnel.

Last month, Trousdale released the album’s first single and title track “Growing Pains” along with its official video. Raking in around 200k streams in its first week alone, a new sense of delight surrounded the band as listeners were treated to a defiant anthem bolstered by ripping electric guitar and masterful country flair. The album will arrive in full on April 11 via Independent Co. — Pre-Save.

Trousdale also announced a limited edition vinyl pre-order with Diggers Factory and Good Neighbor. Keeping sustainability at the forefront, the vinyl is made with 100% Recyclable PET in an injection-mold machine, which saves 90% more energy than normal pressing methods. Only 200 copies of this eco-friendly edition will be available — Pre-order.

With their talent shining through the brightest in a live show, Trousdale will set out on the 29-date Growing Pains tour at the end of April. The tour will feature a collaborative opening set from Beane and Nia Ashleigh. The original Boston show already sold out and now sees a second night added, with cities like Atlanta, Portland and Toronto close to selling out.

Following the devastation of the wildfires in Trousdale’s home city, the band is partnering with The Ally Coalition on behalf of The California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund. $1 from each ticket will support both mid-term and long-term efforts to rebuild and restore the lives of California’s most affected and underserved populations. The Troufriends VIP Meet & Greet Experience will include an exclusive pre-show meet and greet, acoustic performance, a signed zine, limited edition merch, and more.

Last year, Trousdale released Out of My Mind Deluxe while touring extensively across North America. Highlights include sold-out headline dates, supporting The Teskey Brothers, Glen Hansard and Lake Street Dive, and festival performances at Bonnaroo, Green River Festival and Whale Jam. Trousdale also released an Audiotree live session and contributed to NOISE FOR NOW’s Songs For Sex, a benefit compilation album in support of sexual and reproductive rights alongside Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Andrew Bird and more.

ABOUT TROUSDALE:

For Trousdale—the trio of Quinn D’Andrea, Georgia Greene, and Lauren Jones—the ache of growing through change, of facing down existential anxiety, and matters of the heart are all intimately familiar. “We can acknowledge the strides we’ve made and be grateful, but we’ve talked a lot about how tired we are,” Jones says with a laugh. “We’ve been thinking a lot about the tension that comes with change, wanting it, fighting it, embracing it, but learning to thrive in that moment.” On Trousdale’s upcoming LP, Growing Pains (due April 11th), the band works through those struggles to find strength, courage, and growth in each other. “From what was, something new can always grow,” D’Andrea says.

The album was recorded largely live in the room and co-produced by the band and John Mark Nelson, a songwriter who has also co-written and produced songs for Suki Waterhouse and Shaboozey, as well as engineered tracks for the likes of Taylor Swift and Mitski. While working with co-writers like Mags Duval and Adam Yaron expanded the band’s purview, the trio credit John Mark Nelson as a particularly powerful guide. “He’s always thinking about the big picture and staying out of the weeds,” Jones laughs. “We used to live in the weeds. But John Mark helped us focus on the album as a whole.”

Trousdale’s debut album, 2023’s Out of My Mind, earned raves from the likes of the Boston Globe, Consequence, and Atwood Magazine for its powerful songwriting, immaculate harmonies, and ability to bridge gaps between country and indie pop. On Growing Pains, the three songwriters evolved their style, writing rough ideas on their own, then refining and finishing them in the room together. “We’re all adding to each other’s ideas, drawing from personal experiences and then expanding them into something more people can connect with,” D’Andrea explains.

As good as Trousdale sounds when they lean into their gold-hued pop, the group work their country flair into the material more masterfully than ever before. Across 12 remarkable tracks, Growing Pains stares down all the weight of its title, a trio of strong, independent women facing the threats of loneliness, broken hearts, loss, and more, and converting it into transformative, uplifting music. “It's a reminder that even in the coldest moments, renewal is always possible,” D’Andrea explains.
