Goat Girl have shared details of their third studio album, Below The Waste.
Spanning 16 tracks, the follow-up to 2021’s On All Fours was co-produced by the band and Irish producer John "Spud" Murphy at various studios between Dublin, Essex, West London and the trio’s base of South London. Pieced together like a collage, according to a press release, it makes use of strings, woodwind instruments and a choir made up of friends of family.
The album is preceded by lead single ‘ride around’, which you can watch a video for above. Speaking about the song in a statement, Goat Girl’s Lottie Pendlebury said: "I was listening to lots of music at the time by Philip Glass and Deerhoof that plays with the relationship between tension and resolution, which definitely influenced this song. I was yearning for honesty and authenticity in relationships I held with people, probably partly because at the time, like everyone, we were so isolated from one another. But it also felt deeper than that, like the conversations I dreamt of stripped away all of the etiquettes we desperately clung onto and went below the surface to where the most interesting parts of ourselves tend to be suppressed."
Rough Trade will release Below The Waste on June 7, 2024.
