Horsegirl share new song, “Julie”

Ruby Faye

Horsegirl recently announced the details of their new album, Phonetics On and On, which is out Feb. 14 via Matador. Last month they shared the new single “2468,” and today the Chicago trio has another new song to share, “Julie,” which you can hear below via its video, directed by Daphna Awadish Golan.

A press release states that the clip “started as a month-and-a-half animation process, and represents the song’s themes of moving into a new city, the cold of winter, and unrequited love. Much of her animation work features animals as stand-ins for people. Golan individually prints each frame of the background video and then hand draws with oil pastels on top. She scans all of those frames back in to create the final composition, with the tactile nature of her style and process being something that highlights the mood created by the track.”

Phonetics On and On follows 2022’s Versions of Modern Performance. It’s featured on our list of the Best Albums of 2022.
