Stand Atlantic are a force to be reckoned with as they announce their fourth studio album and a sparkling collab track with fellow alt pop stars Lynn Gunn of Pvris and Mexican alt rocker Bruses called ‘Girl$’. The band is out for blood as they announce ‘Was Here’ (Out on August 23rd), which showcases the band’s most masterful songwriting to date. With a murderous album cover and an equally as killer 15-song tracklist, Stand Atlantic is ready to bulldoze their way to the top.
Stand Atlantic’s Bonnie Fraser shares of ‘GIRL$’: “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.”
She also adds: “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’. I’m sure people 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”.
