Trousdale

For Trousdale—the trio of Quinn D’Andrea, Georgia Greene, and Lauren Jones—navigating change, existential anxiety, and matters of the heart is all too familiar. Their LP Growing Pains reflects these themes as the band finds strength and growth in one another. “We’ve talked a lot about how tired we are,” says Jones, acknowledging the tension between wanting change and learning to thrive within it. The title track, with its rousing electric guitar and harmonies, encapsulates these feelings of perseverance. “I’m making it through the tough times when it feels like I’ve been burning out,” they sing, a resilient bass line carrying each word forward. The album was largely recorded live and co-produced by Trousdale and John Mark Nelson, who’s worked with artists like Suki Waterhouse and Taylor Swift. Greene says, “This song was about what we feel every day in this band—being exhausted but finding beauty together.” Trousdale’s debut, Out of My Mind (2023), garnered praise for its powerful songwriting and harmonies blending country and indie pop. Growing Pains continues this evolution, with the trio refining ideas together. "We're all adding to each other's ideas," says D'Andrea.
