Emerging indie rock powerhouse Zoe Kilgren Band has announced their vibrant new single "Girls in Skirts," set to drop on May 23, 2025. This release captures the electric atmosphere of LA summertime while delivering a raw emotional narrative that's become the band's signature.


Born during a sun-soaked bus ride through Los Feliz, "Girls in Skirts" channels the unmistakable energy of an LA spring coming into bloom. Frontwoman Zoe Kilgren transforms everyday observations of "picnic blankets and sunbathers" into a profound meditation on vulnerability and self-sabotage. The track's '90s-influenced sound architecture creates a fascinating tension with its introspective lyrics, resulting in a listening experience that's equal parts nostalgic and theatrical.


"There's something so palpable about Los Angeles when spring and summer start to show themselves, there's an exciting potential energy," reveals Kilgren. "That being said, I always have the tendency to cock-block my own happiness. If there's something to be excited about, I will make sure to rain on my own parade, and that's what this song is about."


The single features several distinctive elements that showcase the band's evolving sound, including a playful "1..2..HAHAHA" intro from their drummer that was spontaneously captured during rehearsals. This happy accident perfectly complements the track's complex emotional palette, where youthful exuberance meets self-aware vulnerability.


The Zoë Kilgren Band continues to establish themselves as one of LA's most compelling indie rock voices—authentic, emotionally resonant, and unafraid to push creative boundaries. "Girls in Skirts" represents their boldest statement yet in a rapidly ascending career trajectory.
