Press Colour: The Pop Minimalism of Horsegirl

Penelope Lowenstein from New York via Chicago band Horsegirl joins Sam to chat about their second album Phonetics On and On, out now through Matador Records.

The album was produced by the legendary Cate Le Bon at Wilco's Loft Studio, and sees the band experimenting with new instrumentation and compositional ideas, with their distinctive and playful melodic sensibility still very much at the core of the songwriting.

Listen back to hear Penelope discuss the band moving from Chicago to New York, working with Cate Le Bon and the tension of making music while studying full time at NYU.
