Anti

Anti- is an American independent recorded label founded by [a=Andy Kaulkin] in 1998, their first release was Tom Waits "Mule Variations" (1999).


Girlpool is an indie rock/pop duo hailing from Los Angeles, California, USA. Comprised of *Cleo Tucker* and *Harmony Tividad*, the band's raw and honest sound has captivated audiences worldwide. With their unique blend of introspective lyrics and catchy melodies, Girlpool has become a prominent figure in the indie music scene.
Inspired by artists such as Frankie Cosmos, Soccer Mommy, and Snail Mail, Girlpool's music resonates with fans who appreciate heartfelt storytelling and authentic emotions. Their relatable lyrics touch on themes of self-discovery, relationships, and personal growth.
With their debut album "Before the World Was Big" receiving critical acclaim, Girlpool has established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. Their subsequent releases have only solidified their place in the industry. Whether performing live or recording in the studio, Girlpool continues to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be an indie rock/pop artist.

Girlpool made their mark with a spare, simple sound - two guitars and two voices, with absolutely nothing else accompanying them. It was an original, intimate sound, and it made the two sound like they were united against the rest of the world. But on their new album, Powerplant, they’re trying something else. They’re playing with a full band. Over 10 days in August 2016, Girlpool holed up at Los Angeles’ comp-ny studios to record and mix Powerplant with Drew Fischer. For the first time, Harmony and Cleo were joined by a third performer, drummer Miles Wintner, a friend who easily meshed with the tightknit duo. The 12 tracks that compose Powerplant grow and burn with greater fire than the duo have possessed heretofore. Both bandmates were heavily inspired by Elliott Smith, the Cranberries, the Cocteau Twins, Brian Eno, Arthur Russell, and Graham Nash; the influence of each appear in the record’s deliberate and intricate guitar work (Fast Dust, She Goes By) as well as its embrace of dissonant noise (Corner Store, Soup). Perhaps what really makes Powerplant a home run is that Girlpool understand exactly how to use their incisive lyrics, soft textures, hushed harmonies, and soaring hooks for maximum emotional impact. In these moments, when Harmony and Cleo’s voices join together to deliver transcendent transmissions straight from their hearts, Girlpool become a league of their own.
