Horsegirl are best friends. You donât have to talk to the trio for more than five minutes to feel the warmth and strength of their bond, which crackles through every second of their debut full-length, Versions of Modern Performance. Penelope Lowenstein (guitar, vocals), Nora Cheng (guitar, vocals), and Gigi Reece (drums) do everything collectively, from songwriting to trading vocal duties and swapping instruments to sound and visual art design. âWe made [this album] knowing so fully what we were trying to do,â the band says. âWe would never pursue something if one person wasnât feeling good about it. But also, if someone thought something was good, chances are we all thought it was good.
âVersions of Modern Performance was recorded with John Agnello (Kurt Vile, The Breeders, Dinosaur Jr.) at Electrical Audio. âItâs our debut bare-bones album in a Chicago institution with a producer who we feel like really respected what we were trying to do,â the band says. Horsegirl expertly play with texture, shape, and shade across the record, showcasing their fondness for improvisation and experimentation. Opener âAnti-gloryâ is elastic and bright post-punk, while the guitars in instrumental interlude âBog Bog 1â smear across the songâs canvas like watercolors. âDirtbag Transformation (Still Dirty)â and âWorld of Pots and Pansâ have rough, blown-out pop charm. âThe Fall of Horsegirlâ is all sharp edges and dark corners.
