Chicago indie rock trio Horsegirl have announced their debut album. Versions of Modern Performance is due out June 3 via Matador. The LP includes the new single “Anti-Glory,” which received a new video directed by Erin Vassilopoulos. Find the video and tracklist below.
“We wrote ‘Anti-Glory’ almost by accident, while messing around with an old song during rehearsal. The song fell into place immediately, and looking back, we have no idea how we wrote it,” Horsegirl said in a statement. ”As always, this song and album are for Chicago, our friends, our friends’ bands, everyone who can play the guitar, and everyone who can’t play the guitar.”
Versions of Modern Performance spans 12 tracks in total, including the previously released song “Billy.” After performing at SXSW, Horsegirl will embark on a tour of North America and Europe in support of the album. Check out their complete list of tour dates below.
