Horsegirl - Cheryl Dunn

Horsegirl share "World of Pots and Pans" from debut LP, expand tour

Horsegirl have shared another song from their upcoming debut album, Versions of Modern Performance. (Preorder it on vinyl.) “‘​World of Pots and Pans’ is the first love song Horsegirl has ever written—or the closest thing to it,” the band say. “We wrote it in Penelope’s basement while preparing to leave for our first ever tour. The lyrics, inspired by the misinterpretation of a Television Personalities lyric, imagine a (possibly unrequited) romance unfolding through references to Tall Dwarfs, Belle & Sebastian, and The Pastels.” You may also notice a reference to Gang of Four’s “Damaged Goods” in this droney, dreamy song.

The lyric video for “The World of Pots and Pans” makes clever, effective use of an old-school overhead projector. “We made the lyric video in a couple hours,” Horsegirl say. “The three of us had a fully formed vision of what it should look like and were able to quickly execute the real-time ‘animation’ in only two takes. It feels special to showcase our creative chemistry, and Nora was able to finally carry out her childhood dreams of making an OK Go (ish) type video.” Watch that below.

Horse have added a few dates to their summer tour, which now wraps up in NYC at Bowery Ballroom on August 10 with L.A. band Dummy opening. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday, April 8 at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.

Versions of Modern Performance is out June 3 via Matador and you can preorder it on vinyl here.
