Through a string of Tweets Girls frontman and primary songwriter, Christopher Owens, announced his departure from the band. He said:
Dear all, This may come as a surprise to many & has been an issue of much thought for me. My decision was not easy to make. I am leaving Girls. My reasons at this time are personal. I need to do this in order to progress. I will continue to write & record music. More will be announced soon. I thank you all for everything. Sincerely–Christopher
It is still unclear if the other half of Girls, JR White, will continue to release material under the Girls moniker. Womp womp.
