An examination of the pressures faced by young women...
Liverpool's five-member ensemble, Girl Group, has released their new single, ‘Flink Pike’.
The band first emerged with their outstanding track ‘Yay! Saturday’, showcasing an indie vibe paired with a pop-oriented immediacy. Lyrically, their songs delve deeper—Girl Group has a talent for creating a dazzling exterior with genuine meaning lying beneath.
Scheduled to perform at Liverpool Sound City on May 3rd, the band is excited to share their latest offering.
The intriguing ‘Flink Pike’ derives its title from a Nordic phrase that translates to “good girl,” and it presents an indie pop anthem reminiscent of early HAIM tracks.
The lyrics address the pressures imposed on young women, building up to a beautiful chorus.
“We observe young girls striving to meet the expectations of being everything at once and entirely agreeable—achieving top grades, being the life of social gatherings, leading the student council, and so forth. This is meant to illustrate how our expectations for young girls often exceed those we have for young boys,” the band explains.
The music video was filmed at a local ballet studio in Liverpool, with elements echoing Sofia Coppola’s stylistic influence.
The visual features the band members in a fantastical audition environment, where they must vie for approval, subtly expressing their discontent with the process through their body language.
