Track: The enigmatic and über cool Horsegirl release another brilliant single ‘Dirtbag Transformation (Still Dirty)’ and announce more shows ahead of sell out dates in Europe.

Horsegirl are cooler than anyone on the planet at this moment in time and their slew of singles, thus far released, place this statement in bold and highlighted. We’ve already salivated over the louch fuzz of ‘World of Pots and Pans’ and ‘Anti-glory’. Now, in anticipation of their debut album ‘Versions of Modern Performance’ (out through Matador Records/Remote Control Records on 3 June 2022), the band has dangled another tasty morsel of insouciance and swagger in the single ‘Dirtbag Transformation (Still Dirty)’. Surely a prize alone for song titles.

The single is a clattering, insistent barrage of fuzzy guitars with disconnected Arctic vocals with sweet melodies that cut a swathe through the buzz. It’s chaotic, irreverent melange of indie rock and a sixties doo-wop sensibility with its hypnotic outro.

The accompanying video show a band with an inherent sense of humour – a shaky super eight video of amateur performers that positively sparkles with a sense of innocent joy:

Horsegirl release their debut album through Matador Records on 3 June 2021 and you can pre-order here and through the link below.
