Girlhood met in early 2017 on a bucolic summer’s evening in East London. Tessa Cavanna was strolling past Christian Pinchbeck’s narrow boat moored on the banks of the Regent’s Canal. Her voice caught the ear of Christian who immediately hopped of the boat and persuaded her to record a song then and there in his makeshift narrow boat studio. They clicked immediately and, after working through the night, they had a batch of songs that would become their debut EP, released on Team Talk Records in 2018. Plaudits followed with the track “Bad Decisions” being made Radio 1’s Introducing track of the week, lots of play from the likes of Lauren Laverne at 6 Music and 1Xtra and performances at Latitude, Visions and Iceland Airwaves.
