Horsegirl :: Phoenetics On And On

Horsegirl’s three members were hardly out of high school when they emerged from Chicago’s raucous post-punk scene, a boisterous but cerebral gaggle of youth and precocity unafraid to play with amp feedback and dual guitar tone. Now college age, the trio of Nora Cheng (guitar/voice), Penelope Lowenstein (guitar/voice) and Gigi Reece (drums) whip a bit of air and lightness into their sophomore LP, tapping indie phenom producer Cate LeBon’s way with tipsy agitated sweetness.

Horsegirl :: Transmissions

This week on the show, we’re joined by Chicago indie trio Horsegirl—Penelope Lowenstein, Nora Cheng and Gigi Reece. Their new album, Versions of Modern Performance, echoes classic indie rock and features members of Sonic Youth. They join us to discuss it all: high school, Chicago’s all-ages scene, recording at Electrical Audio, and more.
