yeah these gals love 90s indie rock - no issue with that when they craft slow-burning hazy bangers, but they do not always manage to do so.

Sometimes the best things are those that are simple and that is certainly the case with Horsegirl's debut album. 'Versions of Modern Performance' is a mellow, noisy and low-key album that doesn't pretend to reinvent the wheel or innovate in this genre space but lays down great fundamentals and songs that are easy to listen to, a lot. The production on the guitars is awesome and seems to vary riff by riff and track by track in minor ways that makes you hear something new with each playthrough. The pacing of the album is great with small noisy instrumental interludes giving slight intermissions between the vocal laden songs, it flows very well. The album is inherently dissonant and noisy but still very catchy and replayable and this is where Horsegirl has really hit the nail on the head. It feels slacker, punk, pop and indie rock all at the same time and that blending just hits. 'Anti-glory' and 'Option 8' are two classics from this album but the album just works so nicely all together.

Swooning with creativity, this debut is a great intro to the indie /noise band.

In a lot of ways, this is the style and sound I wish Girlpool went down instead of the more synth-based approach they are doing. In many ways, Horsegirl?s debut album is a noisy and hazy indie album that borders between the intricate of post-punk and the light-heart nature of indie. A great summer listen on a hot day. The only negative I have is the interludes added feel a bit odd in the actual context of the album.
