EUROPE & UK TOUR 2026
For Trousdale-the trio of Quinn D’Andrea, Georgia Greene, and Lauren Jones—the ache of growing through change, of facing down existential anxiety, and matters of the heart are all intimately familiar. On Trousdale’s second LP, Growing Pains, out now, the band works through those struggles to find strength, courage, and growth in each other.
The album was recorded largely live in the room and co-produced by the band and John Mark Nelson, a songwriter who has also co-written and produced songs for Suki Waterhouse and Shaboozey, as well as engineered tracks for the likes of Taylor Swift and Mitski. While working with co-writers like Mags Duval and Adam Yaron expanded the band’s purview, the trio credit John Mark Nelson as a particularly powerful guide. "He’s always thinking about the big picture and staying out of the weeds," Jones laughs. "We used to live in the weeds. But John Mark helped us focus on the album as a whole."
Trousdale’s debut album, 2023’s Out of My Mind, earned raves from the likes of the Boston Globe, Consequence, and Atwood Magazine for its powerful songwriting, immaculate harmonies, and ability to bridge gaps between country and indie pop. On Growing Pains, the three songwriters evolved their style, writing rough ideas on their own, then refining and finishing them in the room together. "We’re all adding to each other’s ideas, drawing from personal experiences and then expanding them into something more people can connect with," D’Andrea explains.
As good as Trousdale sounds when they lean into their gold-hued pop, the group work their country flair into the material more masterfully than ever before. Across 12 remarkable tracks, Growing Pains stares down all the weight of its title, a trio of strong, independent women facing the threats of loneliness, broken hearts, loss, and more, and converting it into transformative, uplifting music. "It’s a reminder that even in the coldest moments, renewal is always possible," D’Andrea explains.
