Tracklist

1. Ballroom Dance Scene - Horsegirl
2. Sea Life Sandwich Boy - Horsegirl

Horsegirl are a noisy rock trio from Chicago composed of Penelope Lowenstein, Nora Cheng and Gigi Reece, all 17-18 years old.

Inspired by the shoegaze and post-punk sounds of the ’90s US and UK indie underground, in their year together they have played contemporary art museums, all ages venues, open mics and house parties.

The ‘Ballroom Dance Scene’ b/w ‘Sea Life Sandwich Boy’ 7” Vinyl is their first physical release and is out on April 2, 2021 via Sonic Cathedral.

First written during a Chicago teacher’s strike in 2019, ‘Ballroom Dance Scene’ presents Horsegirl’s glassy guitars and vocal counterpoint, like a cross between Yo La Tengo and The Raincoats.

The competing vocal melodies cascade over one another, detailing the lives of various fictional characters. With a title inspired by a misread product name sold at their local grocery store, ‘Sea Life Sandwich Boy’ was the first track Horsegirl wrote together and comes across like Pavement or The Breeders (or, perhaps more accurately, The Amps).
