The recent singles from Horesegirl have been a complete departure from their 2022 debut Versions of Modern Performance while still sounding like themselves, and their latest one might be the best of all. "Frontrunner" is a relatively quiet and melancholy single, focused more on melody than noise. This is an absolutely stunning song filled with vocal harmonies that is truly special because of how stripped down it is. Horsegirl's previous singles from Phonetics On and On have reminded us of The Velvet Underground. "Frontrunner" is more along the lines of Kimya Dawson. Their new album is out in three days, and that might be too long for us to wait.
You can watch the video for "Frontrunner" below. Phonetics On and On is due out February 14 on Matador Records, and is available for pre-order here.
