Chicago’s Horsegirl, the trio of 17-19 year olds Penelope Lowenstein (she/her), Nora Cheng (she/her), and Gigi Reece (they/them), present ‘Billy’, their debut single/video via Matador. Listen HERE
“Chicago is positively teeming with young talent…But no artist has introduced themselves more strongly and with greater immediacy than the arty, wise-beyond-their-years nu-gazers of Horsegirl.” – NME
New single ‘Billy’ continues the band’s exciting early run and expands their already swelling wall of sound with three-part harmonies, overdriven guitars and unexpected tempo changes. Recorded at Chicago’s Electrical Audio and co-produced by the band and legendary producer John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Kurt Vile), ‘Billy’ marks a significant evolution for the young band. The ‘Billy’ 7” will be out March 11 with a cover of the Minutemen’s ‘History Lesson Part 2’ on the B-side (available on the 7” only) and can be pre-ordered today.
Praise for Horsegirl
“Horsegirl are first and foremost music fans…If anything, the hardest part of breaking out into the national music scene is comprehending that their band exists in the same realm as bands they adore.” – Stereogum, Best of What’s Next
“Guitarists Lowenstein and Cheng’s sleep-smeared murmurs stumble into each other atop Reece’s steady drum work. The words and phrases that float to the surface sound like entries in a haunted dream journal”– Pitchfork
