In the wake of their EP Uh-Oh, Low Girl releases Pockets, a piece that straddles the line between spirited and trance-inducing pop This captivating single serves as a playground where the notion of ‘what-ifs’ becomes the band’s muse, inviting listeners to wander life’s labyrinth, where a simple turn could reshape destinies.

Pockets’ melodies, chipper and whimsical, mirror the carefree nature of a midsummer day’s dream. Yet, interwoven within are poignant moments of melancholy that beckon the listener to pause, inviting a beat of reflection. The track dances between joy and sorrow, light and shadow caught up in an endless waltz.

Imagine two former lovers locked in a gaze across a bustling room. Time bends to a crawl, the world fades to a hushed murmur, and the air seems to crackle with electric anticipation. Low Girl captures this visceral essence, infusing Pockets with a seductive energy that transports listeners into that moment of possibility.

At the heart of this piece is the vocal prowess of Sarah Cosgrove. She delivers with clarity and finesse, navigating the song’s emotional spectrum, and demonstrating a vocal dexterity that is both compelling and entrancing.

Drawing inspiration from lo-fi music, Cosgrove and her bandmates — Toby, Tom, and Brad — come together to craft a vibrant pop composition that clashes the pep of the present with the echoes of the past. Pockets stands as a testament to their artistry, a harmonious blend of innovation and homage that resonates as fresh and timeless all at once.
