Girlpool announce split after nine years

Girlpool released their fourth album Forgiveness in April, but according to a new statement shared by Stereogum, the duo have announced that they're stepping back from Girlpool.

They wrote in a statement, "After nine years, we have decided to take a break from Girlpool and go our separate ways as songwriters. This upcoming tour will be our last one - it will be an ode to the past, a celebration for the future, and something we will pour both of our hearts into completely. We are each other’s biggest fans and always encourage each other to stretch and evolve, whether that means it’s alongside one another or not."

The duo will play their final show at LA's El Rey Theatre on 8 October.
