This L.A.-via-Texas garage-pop duo Gal Pals have an album called “Velvet Rut” coming out in a couple of weeks, and we’ve already posted the catchy-as-hell “Here’s To The Gals.” Their new video for the almost-as-catchy jangle-shimmer “Do You Ever?” seems to mostly consist of video that the Gal Pals shot themselves, filming each other as they load into poolside spaces and DIY haunts. They look like they’re having fun, and more importantly, they look like they really like each other, which I guess is the whole point of the band name.
Gal Pals are an L.A.-based, Texas-reared duo who make shimmering, charged-up indie-pop that walks the line between pop-punk and old-school girl group music. It’s simple and straightforward and tuneful, and as you’ve probably guessed from all that, it’s extremely easy music to like. This group might not exactly bring anything new to the table, but that doesn’t make “Here’s To The Gals,” the giddy statement of intent from their debut album Velvet Rut, any less fun.
