Indie-folk outfit Rainbow Girls are ready to kick off a new era. The California-based band is set to release their new, fully crowd-funded album Welcome to Whatever on December 4.
The trio, comprised of longtime friends and creative collaborators Erin Chapin, Caitlin Gowdey, and Vanessa May, have steadily built a dedicated fanbase since their 2015 debut record Perceptronium. To coincide with the announcement of their first new full-length project in three years, Rainbow Girls are also sharing the rock-infused lead single “City Slickers.”

‘City Slickers’ was written after a long night of tramping around the streets of San Francisco with old friends and strangers alike, moving through teeming bars, dead neighborhoods, glimmering sidewalks and apartments til the sun came up,” Gowdey shares of the song. “It’s a love letter to a city I grew up in that I no longer recognize on the surface but will always carry a deep, nostalgic love for.”
