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 / Remote Control Records.
Having only formed in 2019, Horsegirl’s first three singles captured the ears and fans and critics worldwide, garnering early support and acclaim from BBC 6 Music, Pitchfork, NME, Loud & Quiet, NPR, Stereogum, and others. Following their appearance at the Pitchfork Music Festival this fall, where the trio performed for their biggest crowd yet, NYLON remarked “Horsegirl were welcome reminders of how rock music is better and more fun than its been in years.”
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.
