Folk-pop trio Trousdale announce 'Out Of My Mind Deluxe' for July 12
LA folk-pop band Trousdale announce that their latest album Out Of My Mind will be receiving a deluxe version on July 12 via Independent Co. Today’s news is celebrated by the release of fan-favorite “If I’m Honest - Live From LA” and a video of the performance from El Rey Theatre — Stream / Watch.
Capturing the ungovernable energy of the audience, the live version of “If I’m Honest” is the amped up older sister of the studio version. With Quinn D’Andrea, Georgia Greene, and Lauren Jones’ masterful harmonies at the forefront, through headphones the listener can understand the magnitude of a Trousdale live show.
The band shared, “‘If I’m Honest’ has been a real favorite of ours to perform ever since we first wrote it. It marked this cool turning point in our songwriting journey, injecting a whole new vibe into our performances. Taking it on the road live was like throwing the ultimate bash every time we hit the stage. There's just this electric connection with the audience that makes it feel like one big party.”
Continuing they said, “And when it came to picking a track for a live recording, this one was a slam dunk. The energy of the crowd that night was insane, and the song took on a whole new life. We’re so excited to give people a song they can stream that still feels like a real show.”
The trio shaped the tracks from Out of My Mind over the course of two years, spread between sessions in Nashville, sessions at singer-songwriter Jon Bellion’s house in Long Island, and time bouncing between the three members’ homes. Making sure they maintain their hand in the recording and production process, the group opted for home studios, returning to the comfort and intimacy of the process that they’d honed at school. Since formation, Trousdale has amassed over 75 million streams worldwide.
The deluxe version of the album will include an additional four tracks taken from Trousdale’s recent show at LA’s legendary El Rey Theatre, two new takes on album standouts with exciting artist features to be announced, and more. Out Of My Mind Deluxe will be available everywhere on July 12.

Beginning with a monumental performance at Bonnaroo in Tennessee, they will go on to join The Teskey Brothers for a handful of dates before playing at Green River Festival in Massachusetts and setting out for more headline dates.

ABOUT TROUSDALE
Mathematicians argue that the triangle is the strongest shape—a claim easily backed by the magical, unbreakable three-part harmonies of Trousdale. Named for the pedestrian roadway running through the University of Southern California where they met, the trio of Quinn D’Andrea, Georgia Greene, and Lauren Jones became fast friends while holding each other up through an intensive music program. After reaching TikTok virality and playing to sold-out crowds, their mutual support and mystic harmonies have resulted in 2023’s Out of My Mind, with a deluxe version of the country-tinged indie pop triumph due July 12th
The trio’s first time harmonizing proved their immense potential. Greene and Jones had been paired together for a songwriting class, and began crafting what would become Trousdale gem “Do Re Mi”. Like two sides of a triangle craving their fortifying third, they recruited D’Andrea to help finish the song. “We knew we had something special, and we just kept following that feeling,” Jones says. Greene agrees, noting that their focus has always involved subverting the industry’s tendency to pit women against each other. “All three of us went to school to do our own solo artist projects, but instead we chose each other,” she says.
The band members credit their respective families’ love of music as another important factor. D’Andrea is trained in classical piano and was obsessed with musical theater and a cappella. Jones, meanwhile, admired her dad’s acoustic guitar take on Beatles tunes and started doing the same with Taylor Swift’s hits. Greene’s house was similarly steeped in music. When the trio began singing together, however, the result was greater than their composite parts. “We were so impressed with each other even back in school, and now I feel like we get to make music with our favorite artists every day,” Jones says.
While Trousdale honed their musical alchemy, the group stretched far and wide in their inspirations. Their earliest singles and YouTube videos included covers ranging from Abba to Katy Perry, and the golden sun pop harmonies of the Eagles and Beach Boys have remained a massive influence. Out of My Mind highlight “Bad Blood” exemplifies that heady fusion, a jolt of twangy heartbreak delivered in sugary pop goodness. The immaculately groovy “Point Your Finger” meanwhile demonstrates their instrumental depth, the low-slung swagger incorporating clanking glass and smoky electric guitar into a muscly warning.
The trio shaped the tracks from Out of My Mind over the course of two years, spread between sessions in Nashville, sessions at singer-songwriter Jon Bellion’s house in Long Island, and time bouncing between the three members’ homes. When it came time to record, the group opted for home studios, returning to the comfort and intimacy of the process that they’d honed at school. “The real Trousdale sound got its legs when the three of us became heavily involved in the production of our music,” Jones says.
No matter the tone or theme of their music, it’s clear there’s a special relationship at the center of every harmony and immaculately composed track: “Our friendship and acceptance of each other holds us together, and I think that brings our fans together as well,” D’Andrea says. In that way, harmony truly sits at the core of Trousdale, with everything returning to that triangulated strength. The music fuels the friendship, and the friendship fuels the music. And on the back of that harmonious present, Trousdale continue to build toward an even more majestic country pop future.
