“Classically trained sisters Kenzie and Laila are the brains behind this smart, fuzzy dose of pop rock sugar and spit – sort of like The Kills throwing a really fun party with a few riot grrrl stars. Fizzing with likeable energy but clever enough to keep you on your toes.”

“While the White Stripes — their most obvious comparison — were about controlled

energy, Girl Tones are proudly imperfect.”

Today, Girl Tones reveal the title track off of their upcoming debut album Precious and shed a tender light on much of the record’s inspiration. On “Precious” the band takes a break from the muscular rock songs they’ve become known for and opt instead for a vulnerable ballad. Without compromising any of their raw power along the way, the song distills their complicated feelings about life lived and grief into four minutes. With layers of ascendant vocals over sparse piano, elegant strings, and emotionally charged drums, the album’s title track is a farewell to their grandmother — Stream.

“Our Abuelita passed away in 2020, and the song came from experiencing the grief of losing a loved one,” singer Kenzie reveals. “She always referred to us as her ‘Precious’. The handwriting on the cover is actually from a card she sent to me. We worked on the album for a while, and it’s so precious to us. Around the time we said goodbye to her, I started dating my now-husband. As much as the song is about losing a loved one, it’s also about gaining a new loved one.”

Today’s single also arrives with an official video directed by Emily Buchwald. Performing with a piano in a field, while deer wander in the background, the visual is understated and perfectly matches the beauty of the song — Watch.

With much anticipation surrounding their first album, Precious will be released in full on November 6. After locking listeners in the orbit of their bulldozing early singles and pocketing their fair share of early accolades, Girl Tones’ first full-length body of work was produced by Brad Shultz of Cage The Elephant and will be released on his label, Parallel Vision, in partnership with Big Loud Rock. It’s the sound of a band unapologetically embracing creative and personal freedom, never letting go, and encouraging you to do the same — Pre-save.

ABOUT GIRL TONES:

As colorful as your favorite candy and as sharp as a trusty blade, Girl Tones create from contrast. The Bowling Green, KY duo—sisters Kenzie [vocals, guitar] and Laila [drums]—serve up sweet melodies and sour riffs that are aggressive, amplified, and addictive in the best way. When it comes to their songs, it’s impossible to consume just one without immediately wanting another. Not to mention, their bright outfits are as loud as the guitars (maybe louder).

As kids, they obsessed over music. Eventually, Kenzie traded cello for guitar, and Laila stepped away from piano and behind a drumkit. They went from penning songs in the woods to playing countless D.I.Y. shows in local venues around Kentucky. Gaining buzz, they caught the attention of one of Bowling Green’s favorite sons: Brad Shultz. Impressed off the bat, the Cage The Elephant co-founder and guitarist signed the group to his Parallel Vision label in partnership with Big Loud Rock. Girl Tones continued to gain traction with tunes like “Blame,” “Cherry Picker,” “I Know You Know,” and “Again,” which reeled in over 1.4 millions of streams. Simultaneously, the pair incited the applause of Rolling Stone, VICE, Consequence, PAPER, NME, DORK, SPIN, Flaunt, and more. Earlier this year, Girl Tones joined Amazon Music’s list of Artists to Watch for 2026.

Beyond canvasing the world with Cage The Elephant, they shared stages with Dexter and the Moonrocks, Silversun Pickups, The Velveteers, and hey, nothing., among others. Plus, they turned onlookers into converts with show stopping sets everywhere from Lollapalooza to Just Like Heaven. Now, Girl Tones come to life at full volume on their full-length debut LP, Precious (out November 6 via Parallel Vision/Big Loud Rock). It’s the sound of a band unapologetically embracing creative and personal freedom, never letting go, and encouraging you to do the same.
