Hell is other people, so what happens when you imagine a future without them? That's the loose question floating through Girl K is for the People, the Chicago band's first EP for Take This to Heart Records. The quartet-vocalist/keyboardist Kathy Patino, guitarist Kevin Sheppard, bassist Alex Pieczynski, and drummer Ajay Raghuraman-has spent the past few years zeroing in on their core values: minimizing harm while dialed in to charm. By taking inspiration from 1980s sonic templates, Girl K is for the People finds a young band at their most refreshed and focused, empowered by the colorful and danceable songs, as modern neuroses darken the corners. Finished pre-pandemic, the EP captures a band on the edge of a new breakthrough but still unsure of how to wield it's exciting power. Enveloped by 1980s saving graces like track fadeouts, sparkling keyboards, and wide-open production, anxious journal entries are tucked behind neon-lit signage.
