Horsegirl â the New York-via-Chicago trio of best friends Nora Cheng, Penelope Lowenstein, and Gigi Reece â announce their second album, Phonetics On and On, out February 14th. by Cate Le Bon and recorded at The Loft in Chicago, the bandâs original and sonic home, Phonetics On and On is an exploration of the lines between pop, minimalism, and playful experimentation.
Since the release of 2022âs Versions of Modern Performance, âcompelling from its first note to its very lastâ (NME), much has changed for Horsegirl. In the fall of that year, they relocated to New York City, where Penelope and Nora were to attend NYU leading to the first time the trio had written music outside of Penelope's parents' basement. You can hear the push in a new direction by virtue of their new environment, but through this time of unparalleled change, the band turns inward.
Horsegirl returned to Chicago to record in January 2024, finding focus and intimacy in the studio that can only arise when it's simply too cold to step outside. Le Bon led them into new, bright, clear, sonic territories highlighting the inventive nature of these songs. New tools help bring this world to life; violins, synths, and gamelan tiles are all woven into the record. The songs are a testament to experimenting with space and texture while maintaining a pop song at the core. All the while, a confident simplicity brings the band's songwriting ability to the forefront.
Itâs hard to imagine any of these songs being written by anyone but Nora, Penelope, and Gigi. Horsegirl write with unanticipated honesty, leading us through scenes of girlhood and youth. These are moments of their lives. The indelible truth is that Horsegirl is a band of best friends; being around them you can see that love in their eyes and it is always a joyous thing to witness. Itâs a love that is ever-present in Phonetics On and On as tenderness reverberates back and forth across the recording.
