Horsegirl, the New York-via-Chicago trio of best friends Nora Cheng, Penelope Lowenstein, and Gigi Reece, recently played the Great American Music Hall in SF and Poindexter was there to catch up with the band. Tune in on Friday, August 29th at 3:30pm to hear her conversation with drummer, Gigi Reece.
Produced by Cate Le Bon and recorded at The Loft in Chicago, the band’s original and sonic home, latest album Phonetics On and On is an exploration of the lines between pop, minimalism, and playful experimentation.
It’s 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. It’s a love that is ever-present in Phonetics On and On as tenderness reverberates back and forth across the recording.
