When Horsegirl signed to Matador in 2021, their debut EP Ballroom Dance Scene et cetera (best of Horsegirl) earned the young indie rockers a Band To Watch title, and their 2022 LP Versions Of Modern Performance got them an Album Of The Week honor. Today, the beloved group is announcing its follow-up, Phonetics On And On, produced by Cate Le Bon. The meditative lead single “2468” is out now.

“2468” comes with a music video directed by Eliza Callahan and choreographed by Alexa West, and it encapsulates the deadpan fun of Horsegirl’s music. They’re also revealing a handful of US tour dates for this spring. See those below along with the video.
