Nearly ten years after Nocturne, Girls in Hawaii return with Eldorado, their fifth album. A comeback record in the deepest sense of the word: a return to the band, a return to instinctive songwriting, a return to the simple pleasure of playing together, but also a return to a story that began in the early 2000s and has since been shaped by joy, loss, doubt, and transformation. 

The title Eldorado comes from the album’s second single. It evokes the pursuit of an ideal that one chases without ever being certain of reaching it: a form of truth, a great song, a place where fears can finally rest. For Girls in Hawaii, this Eldorado is far from a comforting mirage. It is a tension, a force that keeps pushing forward despite human fragility, despite grief, despite doubt. Chasing the unattainable may well be what allows us to remain standing.
