“expansive post-punks weave an intricate web”
“There’s no risk of a sophomore slump for the London four-piece”
“Equipped with whirlpooling guitars and a newfound supply of silvery electronics, the South London band chronicles anxiety and ennui in songs full of spine-tingling dissonance.”
“As their self-titled debut showed, Goat Girl are one of the few British acts still capable of making guitars sound genuinely thrilling, with their dispatches from the frontline of being young, in a city and slightly sad. In-keeping with their South London peers, they’ve embraced electronics on this record, and whilst – unlike, say, PVA or Jockstrap – those sounds aren’t front and centre, they’re ”
“Goat Girl’s eponymous 2018 debut album could be both visceral – with singing guitarist Lottie Pendlebury memorably threatening to hit a perv on a train – and more open-ended, two aspects they shared with the post-punk bands of the late 70s. This searching, south London four-piece have expanded the latter tendency on album two, becoming more experimental, and somehow more tuneful, into the bargain.”
