Chicago trio Horsegirl have announced the release details of their debut album, ‘Versions of Modern Performance’.
Set to arrive on 3rd June via Matador, it comes alongside their first UK and European tour dates, and a lead single from the record, ‘Anti-glory’.
“We wrote Anti-glory almost by accident, while messing around with an old song during rehearsal. The song fell into place immediately, and looking back, we have no idea how we wrote it,” the band explains. “As always, this song and album are for Chicago, our friends, our friend’s bands, everyone who can play the guitar, and everyone who can’t play the guitar.”
‘Versions of Modern Performance’ was recorded with John Agnello (Kurt Vile, The Breeders, Dinosaur Jr.) at Chicago’s Electrical Audio. “It’s our debut bare-bones album in a Chicago institution with a producer who we feel like really respected what we were trying to do,” the band says.
