Christopher Owens, the singer-songwriter and guitarist behind the late, great Girls, announced the formation of his new band Curls nearly a year ago. An earlier version of Curls existed back in 2005 and featured Owens and his then girlfriend, Liza. The new Curls trio — with Cody Rhodes on drums and Luke Baće on bass — played their first show in June and will release an EP called Vante this fall.

We heard the EP’s first single, “Emotion,” last month, and today we get to hear another. “Gentle and Kind” has a Paul McCartney-like slow, twee optimism to it. Its bright and bold production harkens back to Girls, and Owens’ voice sounds as good as ever. Listen below.

Here’s Vante’s tracklist:

01 “Dynamite”
02 “Emotion”
03 “Golden Gate”
04 “Gentle And Kind”

And here’s its cover art:
