Harmony is a once in a generation songwriter. Since she was 15 years old, writing and performing as one half of Girlpool, her exacting lyrics have had the ability to cut to the heart of a feeling you could never name. She can turn a phrase as easily as spinning a globe; the whole world is better for it., out Aug. 25 via her own imprint, Fantasy Corp.
NYLON caught up with Harmony ahead of the release of “Shoplifting at Nike,” to talk about how she wrote the track, what makes a Harmony song a Harmony song, and the cartoonishness of life.I would love to hear a little bit about what the songwriting process was like for “Shoplifting at Nike.” I'm kind of closing my eyes and vibing. I was like, "Okay, you guys tell me if this is weird: ‘Vanity, it's all love.’ Because I have this opinion that materialism and spirituality are the same thing, and whatever people find fully is equally valid to anything else. I was like, “This part I'm not sure about, but so annoying: ‘Shoplifting from Nike.’” I'm like, “Is that weird? Do you like that?” And they were like, “That's cool. I like that.
It's more in the writing, I think. There's this kind of optimism and pessimism that's felt simultaneously in the music. I feel like the songs are not usually too one dimensional. It's not usually about one feeling. It's kind of a more nuanced thing.
