Horsegirl’s Switch Over Video

If there’s going to be a consensus album of the year contender this early on in 2025, it’s gotta be the forthcoming LP from Horsegirl, right? I mean, every single has been consistently brilliant, and this new one just settles in right alongside that, kind of building up this sort of post-Electrelane brilliance; if you listen to the harmonizing amongst the trio, you’ll be transported back to the genius of No Shouts No Calls. Still, this sounds fresh, and even my nostalgic looking-glasses can’t shade the fact that this might be one of the best acts around. It takes absolute magic to build songs this infectious and simultaneously challenging, and I can’t stop playing this one. Phonetics On and On will be out February 14th via Matador.
