London trio Goat Girl have dropped their new single, ‘words fell out’, the final teaser of their upcoming album. It’s an emotional, lilting track that slowly moves from its quiet opening moments defined by insistent bass, to its warm outro filled with layers of interweaving synths. It’s one of Goat Girl’s more restrained tracks, focusing more on heartbreaking melodies than noise rock outbursts, but it suits its emotive nature. Lyrically, the track explores the band’s deeply personal experience of drummer Rosy’s struggle with addiction. Lottie explains: “The song is about the helplessness felt amongst our friends as we attempted to nurture Rosy, a time that felt really hard to find words for. I wrote it to sort through the emotions that are pushed aside in the midst of dealing with a crisis.” Fittingly, the black and white video that accompanies the track is slow, serene and beautiful; it was directed and shot by singer/guitarist Lottie Pendlebury’s sister, Molly Ann Pendlebury and choreographed by her mother, Lauren Potter. Be sure to check out the new Goat Girl album, Below The Waste, which releases this Friday, June 7th, 2024 via Rough Trade Records. -Dan Peeke
