Today, Nashville-based shimmer pop band Moody Joody announce their debut EP Dream Girl due out November 8 via Photo Finish Records and available for pre-save now. Alongside the announcement, the trio share "Cuts Deep" and its matching visualizer, out now. Plus, celebrate the new music live with Moody Joody at their official EP release show on November 8, at Nashville's Row 1. Synthy, sexy and earnest, Dream Girl allows Moody Joody to feel everything and encourages listeners to dance through it all.

Beginning this week, Moody Joody will join alt pop/rock group MisterWives on the MisterWives: Just For One Night! tour on select dates. Tickets are on sale now here and see a full list of dates below.

The forthcoming debut project from Moody Joody embodies the duality of being human–from dance floor anthems to tracks that embrace the less glamorous side of life and being a musician. Embedded throughout are singers Kayla Hall (lead vocals, guitar) and Kaitie Forbes (lead vocals, guitar) experiences as women–the hardships, the joys and everything in between–resulting in an empowered, cohesive collection that serves as an outlet to express their high hopes and deep fears and sonically, is a blend of their eclectic tastes. Forbes says the project allows her to release expectations of perfectionism–being a Dream Girl–and embrace who they each are. "‘Dream Girl’, our first body of work, is a story of romance, existential crisis’, loss & rebirth. The duality of the high-energy optimistic dream pop versus the darker, honest and vulnerable edge is our way of owning our humanness, and stepping down from the pedestal that we’ve been placed on in our lives."

Holding space for a wide range of emotions and experiences including romance, mental health, chasing the dream, unrequited love, longing, self-acceptance, depression and being in one's power, Hall adds the EP, "was born from a place of capturing the duality of life and our experiences and raw emotions as women in the world translated into an edgy, dreamy indie pop EP. We wanted to capture everything that we are and feel, which at times is sexy, ethereal, lighthearted, powerful and at other times is dark, deep, depressed and raw; creating a safe space for ourselves to experience and embrace the highs and lows of womanhood through this project."

"Cuts Deep," out today, captures the frantic energy of the "define the relationship" conversation, when a fun fling has turned into deep feelings. High energy and filled with sass and slight sarcasm, it was written during an off day in New York City with frequent collaborator Scott Harris (Shawn Mendes, Dua Lipa). While playing around in the studio, Forbes recalls, "Scott went into the vocal booth, had Andrew [producer] crank the autotune and started singing what turned out to be the icing on the cake of this song. His background vocals add a feeling of yearning and make you get in your feels a little bit more, while also trying to give off that “I don’t care” attitude."

Last month, the band shared "Ground Control," an escapist, apocalyptic pop tune that explores burn out– starting at rock bottom and propelling onward and upward. Over a catchy melody and playful rhyme schemes, the track sees Moody Joody attempt to quiet the noise and avoid getting lost in the days where life feels cyclical and dull. Written in New York City with Harris, the track is a shiny reminder to take risks, set high goals and to look ahead–beyond the immediate future. In August, the trio shared a fresh, re-worked St. Lucia remix of the smooth, synthy "Velvet Connection." Also co-written by Scott Harris, the tune is a bright, shimmering pop tune that chronicles the early stages of an electric, forbidden summer crush.

This summer, Moody Joody connected with MisterWives on their deluxe album, Nosebleeds: Encore, with an all new version of "All The Same," joining a staggering list of collaborators, including Betty Who, Meet Me @ The Altar, PVRIS, Pom Pom Squad and more. They also recently supported indie pop band Smallpools on tour.

Moody Joody is a trio made up of Kayla Hall, Kaitie Forbes, Andrew Pacheco (producer). In 2020, the band shared their debut single "The Heat" and has steadily released a string of tracks since. As they continue to build their own sonic universe with the release of their debut EP, the group embraces duality, unafraid to meet their emotions head-on and dissect the varied layers of the human experience using dynamic, dreamy production, sparkling instrumentation, soaring vocals and honest lyricism.

Synthy, sunny and full of energy, Moody Joody are prepared to firmly introduce themselves with their forthcoming magnetic EP Dream Girl out November 8 via Photo Finish Records and available for pre-save now. With "Cuts Deep," out now, the band playfully look to define the relationship when a fling becomes more. Don't miss the band live as they support MisterWives this month on select dates and get tickets now here.
