There are two sides to the Cowboy Boy story. Here’s the first: Olivia Maria and Mike Nevin started writing songs together in Boston. When Olivia moved to LA, Cowboy Boy persisted over FaceTime and weekends spent recording in each other’s home bases. That part’s easy, but packing up and leaving the East Coast was hard. Enter part two of the Cowboy Boy story — the PRINCESS/GOOD GIRL double EP out soon via Get Better Records.
If PRINCESS showcases a young band on the edge of critical life changes, GOOD GIRL waves from the other side of the aftermath. PRINCESS is shot through with caffeinated anxiety that could only accompany watching a long-term relationship transition into a long- distance one, and GOOD GIRL processes the heartbreak from a California zip code. For Cowboy Boy, growing is part of the process even when miles threaten to make them seem small.
Includes unlimited streaming of GOOD GIRL
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
If you asked me for a cup of coffee
I’d stop at Pavement on my way home from class
If you needed to take the T to Allston
I’d swipe you in with my weekly pass
But please don’t say you need me to kiss you and send you away
Cause I’d do anything in the world for you but that
If you tell me you have trouble sleeping
I’ll stay up with you and won’t close my eyes
I won’t even mind if I’m home with my parents
I’ll still use FaceTime til my battery dies
But I don’t know if I could stay here and just let you go
And say goodnight every night from across 2,000 miles
They say if you really love somebody to let them go
So what kind of girl does that make me if I told you no
I think I’d go crazy if I can’t wake up to your face next to mine I know
So stay here instead we can just stay in bed
And I’ll order Dominos
If it’s midnight and you need some water
I’ll get up and I’ll pour you a glass
If your apartment feels kind of empty
I’ll forget I’m allergic to cats
But please don’t ask me to let you leave if you won’t come back
Cause I’d do anything in the world for you but that
I’d do anything in the world for you but that
I’d do anything in the world
A lovely album from start to finish. So good I bought it twice ( first digitally , then on CD ) . Immediately before writing this little blurb I also got the t-shirt. Standout song writing and a beautifully resonant voice. Poormonger
Discovered Mia a few years ago and immediately fell head over heels in love with the album, so I knew I wanted this for my growing CD collection bikinigrrl
