Goat Girl - On All Fours

Goat Girl’s 2018 self-titled debut album was an intense but brief affair; nineteen tracks forming a whistle-stop tour through the devolution of their home, that bloody London, with only one track clocking in at over three minutes.

For the delayed (no prizes for guessing why) second, the quartet have expanded their horizons both sonically and lyrically.

A reshuffle of the pack in 2019 not only saw Holly Mullineaux replace Naima Redina-Bock on bass, but also a broadening of responsibilities: while their debut was primarily written by lead vocalist and guitarist Lottie Pendlebury, natural evolution has led to a more democratic approach in terms of songwriting, the duties spread over the four members.

Sadly, and despite being a year old, the subject matters taken to task (mental health, anxiety, misogyny, all still served with a dose of political outrage) are just as pertinent, arguably more so, as we live through what are hopefully the bleakest of modern times.
