THE GODDAMSELS release latest single “Same Damn Thing” & announce summer tour dates
Rising Canadian duo The Goddamsels continue to tease their debut full-length album with their latest single, “Same Damn Thing,” a sparkling, mid-tempo track that adds some pop flavour to their already tried-and-true country/folk sound rooted in soaring harmonies of Mallory Chipman and Freddi MacDougall.
The song’s undeniable catchiness complements its message of seeing oneself stuck in the monotony of the everyday grind, yet still having a hard time breaking out of the self-destructive cycle. As with all great singles, “Same Damn Thing” takes the listener on an emotional journey, from feelings of shame and regret to arriving at a place of acceptance and resilience.
Following a whirlwind 2023 that saw The Goddamsels become one of the most talked-about new acts within the Americana scene on the strength of their six-song EP Wayward Daughter, the collaboration between singer/songwriters Chipman and MacDougall has already been busy in 2024 with a tour of Ireland and the UK in support of “Better Than,” the first taste of the forthcoming album for Alberta-based Royalty Records.
Like its predecessor, “Same Damn Thing” was recorded at Edmonton’s Riverdale Records with The Goddamsels’ trusted, Juno Award-nominated producer Scott Franchuk (Corb Lund, Del Barber, Mike Plume, Scenic Route To Alaska), and features Kyle Shabada on acoustic guitar, Brett Hansen on electric guitars, Murray Wood on bass, Shea Connor on drums and Ryan Funk on pedal steel.
Mallory and Freddi have certainly come a long way since they first connected in 2015 while singing cover songs with the house band at Edmonton’s Blue Chair Cafe. Their natural chemistry as performers quickly blossomed into a songwriting partnership based on a mutual love of folk and country’s intimacy. After recording and releasing Wayward Daughter, The Goddamsels embarked on several tours of different parts of Canada, along with appearing at Folk Alliance 2023 in Kansas City where they caught the attention of many within the Americana scene.
Now established as one of the most promising new acts on the Americana scene and more touring on the horizon, The Goddamsels are ready to steal the hearts of even more listeners with their unforgettable sound.
