GOTH BABE RELEASES DEBUT ALBUM
Goth Babe has released his highly anticipated debut album Lola on Mom + Pop Music.
Since his breakthrough single “Sometimes” in 2018, Goth Babe (née Griff Washburn) has balanced his skyrocketing profile as a musician with staying grounded and living a scaled-back lifestyle that allows him to pursue his love of the outdoors and the environment. Having spent time living in his car, a tiny house, and a camper van, all-inclusive of moments of joy and unfettered freedom as well as loneliness and trauma, Lola—his new album, named for the sailboat on which he now lives— is a splendid confirmation of Goth Babe’s story so far. All those shimmering sounds and topsy-turvy life dynamics coil into 11 incredible tracks that look for respite and redemption.
Earlier this week, Goth Babe released the album’s accompanying short film “Lola” — watch it HERE. Griff's story is special and the “Lola” documentary puts his success story as a musician, with over 900 million streams and countless sold-out shows, into context. Living in small spaces (and recording music in those spaces) has helped Griff pare his life down — making room for the important things in his life: travel, adventure, music, and most importantly, fun.
Griff first started his tiny living adventure in a camper van, then a tiny house (which burned down along with all his possessions), and eventually his sailboat, where he taught himself how to live out on the water when he’s not touring. He's a surfer, skater, rock climber, and first and foremost an environmentalist — in fact, a portion of his live show proceeds are donated to Protect Our Winters.
Directed by Ian Durkin, the short film follows the making of his new album and offers an inside look into the artist behind Goth Babe (where you can also get to know his perpetual sidekick, his blue-eyed Australian Shepherd named Sadie).
Today, Goth Babe has also announced his upcoming headline tour across North America, Mexico, and Australia that will kick off in August! The tour will see him make stops in New York, D.C., Austin, Seattle, San Francisco, a return appearance at Denver’s Red Rocks, and more! He’ll also be performing at Governors Ball and Bonnaroo Festivals this June! North America tickets officially go on sale Friday, Feb 2nd at 10 AM local time - but fans can sign up now HERE for early access to presales kicking off Tues Jan 30.
