Cherub punk duo Girlpool, the Los Angeles natives who now use Philadelphia as a home base, announced today that their debut album “Before the World Was big” would be out June 2 via Wichita Recordings. The smart, often confrontational music on last year’s debut EP belied its simplicity — no matter what you thought of the title “Blah Blah Blah” — and on the raw-boned new track “Ideal World,” Cleo Tucker and Harmony Tividad again grapple with relationships in a sneaky, out-of-the-mouths-of-babes way. As in, are we attracted to someone, or merely the idea of someone? “Put me on a Hallmark card [and] tranquilize me with your ideal world,” they sing. Or don’t.
