“Bite my tongue until it bleeds,” sings Tividad’s narrator. On opener “Nothing Gives Me Pleasure,” those wounds are literal. Forgiveness is the crater left by that explosion, studded with memory-debris: burdens from old exes, fantasies never quite made real, photographs of previous, wounded selves. “I didn’t know what I was made from, the fabric of my being.” She and bandmate Avery Tucker haven’t just grown - they’ve burst through their confines. “Since Girlpool started, I’ve changed a lot,” says band member Harmony Tividad. There’s no straight line from the pared-down K Records sound of their debut, Before The World Was Big, to the bombastic industrial glitches and groans that give Forgiveness its brutalist foundation. Forgiveness is the fourth studio album by Girlpool, but you could easily mistake it for another band’s work.
