Girlpool, Hatchie [outside]

As Hatchie, Brisbane’s Harriette Pilbeam expertly mines effervescent Eighties dream-pop, but forthcoming debut LP Keepsake feel decidedly dancier. L.A.’s Girlpool blossoms from off-kilter minimalism to enormity on this year’s third LP, What Chaos Is Imaginary. Harmony Tividad and Cleo Tucker dispense cerebral lyrics, introspection, and grungy instrumentals. – Libby Webster
