When Trousdale arrive in the UK this February, they do so as a band, very much in their stride – even if that stride has come with a fair share of self-reflection. The Los Angeles trio of Quinn D’Andrea, Georgia Greene, and Lauren Jones is touring in support of their sophomore album, Growing Pains, a record that captures the strange emotional limbo of wanting change while quietly mourning what’s been left behind.

“We can acknowledge the strides we’ve made and be grateful, but we’ve talked a lot about how tired we are,” Jones admits with a laugh. “We’ve been thinking a lot about the tension that comes with change – wanting it, fighting it, embracing it – but learning how to thrive in that moment.”

Growing Pains, an album that feels both expansive and intimate, centres around this tension. Recorded largely live in the room and co-produced with John Mark Nelson (who has worked with the likes of Taylor Swift, Mitski and Suki Waterhouse), the record finds Trousdale refining their signature sound: luminous, three-part harmonies anchored in pop, with a growing confidence in their country and folk instincts. “From what was, something new can always grow,” D’Andrea says simply.



The band’s debut, Out of My Mind (2023), earned praise for its immaculate harmonies and emotionally direct songwriting, but Growing Pains marks a clear evolution. Instead of starting from the beginning, the trio started bringing in rough ideas individually and shaping them collectively in the room. “We’re all adding to each other’s ideas,” D’Andrea explains. “They start from personal experiences, but then we expand them into something more people can connect with.”

That sense of shared authorship mirrors the way Trousdale present themselves more broadly. There is no lead singer here, no single focal point. Instead, their strength lies in contrast: three distinct voices, personalities and backgrounds pulling in the same direction. “We’re friends first,” Greene says. “That’s always been the foundation of the band. We’re all songwriters; we all take it seriously, but we also really care about creating a safe, welcoming space – at our shows and in our music.”

It’s a philosophy that translates powerfully on stage, particularly on this UK run, where the band will perform as a stripped-back trio rather than with their full US touring band. “Those shows are really intimate,” Jones says. “It’s just the three of us, acoustic, lots of banter, lots of personality. You can expect a laugh, maybe a cry, and a big singalong.”

That sense of community has already travelled across the Atlantic. British trio Remember Monday recently called Trousdale their “band of the moment,” and the shout-out genuinely touched the group. “That’s so sweet,” Greene says. “We’ve been mutuals online for years, but we’ve never actually met in person.” A collaboration may yet be on the cards – dancing lessons permitting. “We’re more standstill-and-step-touch,” Jones laughs. “Georgia’s the dancer. Quinn and I are still working on the coordination.”

The Beatles, Oasis, Adele, Ed Sheeran, and RAYE are among the UK artists who have influenced or inspired them. D'Andrea expresses, "There are so many." “I always think of more after the fact.”

That openness to influence perhaps explains why Trousdale resists being boxed into a single genre. “We’ve always followed the song, regardless of what genre we’re supposed to be,” Greene says. “Because there are three of us, with such different upbringings, it naturally muddies the waters in a really beautiful way.”

Their recent single The Ick showcases their playful spirit. Despite not being featured on Growing Pains, the track serves as a playful counterpart to the album's more contemplative moments. Built around humour, sass and a very relatable dating phenomenon, it even features kazoo and “mouth trumpet” parts in the recording. “It’s about that moment early on when someone gives you the ick and you just can’t shake it,” the band explains. “We all know that feeling.”

Whether leaning into emotional honesty or embracing their more comedic side, Trousdale’s appeal lies in how human they feel. As Growing Pains makes clear, uncertainty doesn’t have to be paralysing – it can be a place of renewal, too. Or, as D’Andrea puts it, “Even in the coldest moments, growth is always possible.”

With UK dates on the horizon and hints of “newness” already brewing in the Trousdale universe, their visit feels less like an introduction and more like the start of a deeper conversation – one built on harmony, humour and the shared experience of figuring things out as you go.
