Phonetics On and On LP

Horsegirl spent their 2022 debut, Versions Of Modern Performance, proving they could do post punk and jangle pop without picking a side, which is its own kind of dodge. Phonetics On And On hands the trio, Nora Cheng, Penelope Lowenstein, and Gigi Reece, over to producer Cate Le Bon and comes back with the best reviews of their short career, including a nod from New York Times critic Lindsay Zoladz as one of the year's best. "2468" and "Julie" do the heavy lifting, which suggests the dodge is starting to look more like a strategy.
