Girls have announced a new single titled “Lawrence” that they will release stateside on December 6 (U.K. fans will get it on November 28). The single was recorded as a gift for Lawrence Hayward, the frontman of Felt. The single will be on limited edition heart-shaped red vinyl, via True Panther.
Girls’ lead singer Chris Owens explains his motivation for the single in a letter to Lawrence Hayward:
I once wrote this song and wondered what you would sing to it, I could sometimes hear your voice but I didn’t dare write down any words. I never thought for a second you would ever hear it, I wondered if you would like it, all that. I called it Lawrence, after you. To send it to you now is incredible for me, I want to show you I’m thankful. You gave me something to love, or in other words you gave me love itself. You took something that can sometimes feel so common and dull and brought it back to life with so much beauty and verse. You gave me happiness, and you still do.
If you’re a Girls fan, make sure you get your hands on that vinyl. That’s as cool as they come. There’s nothing quite like physical formats. Pre-order the single here.
