Goat Girl detail 19-track debut record and share video for new single "The Man"

South London troupe Goat Girl have announced their eponymous debut record and shared visuals for new single "The Man".

The album is produced by Dan Carey (Kate Tempest, Franz Ferdinand) and was recorded last autumn in his London studios. Although it has 19 tracks in total, it spans just 40 minutes.

"Simply put, it's an album that comes from growing up in London and the first-hand experience of our city’s devolution," the group say. "We wanted to think of it as this place seen not necessarily just through our eyes, but someone who can’t get past the abnormalities and strange happenings that exist in our city. We think this gives the freedom lyrically and musically to explore unspoken truths and emotions that we all as humans feel.

"It wasn’t exactly intentional to have this warped country sound," they continue, "but... that was initially what we were all drawn to and inspired by: bands that existed in a lo-fi, dissonant, scratchy context."

Goat Girl are planning to embark on a spring tour of Europe, with a few North American festival dates scattered throughout. Find out more.
