The expression of hard-fought optimism encapsulates Our Girl’s as-yet-unannounced second LP; dealing with
themes of sexuality, relationships, community, and illness. Recorded at Rockfield studios and produced by
John Parish (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding, Dry Cleaning), Fern Ford (The Big Moon, Prima Queen), and Soph
Nathan (also of The Big Moon), this album, filled with warmth and honesty, marks a significant artistic step
forward since their acclaimed debut album, Stranger Today.
Stepping into a production role for the first time, Soph Nathan recalls: “Working on this record taught me to
trust my gut. I realised that we needed to make it sound and feel exactly how we wanted, otherwise what’s
the point?” Lauren Wilson, who completes the line up alongside Josh Tyler, continues: “It feels more
confident to me… a lot more considered, we’ve had time and space to write.”
This creative clarity permeates the album: both intimate and expansive, tonally nuanced and richly textured,
it contains Soph Nathan’s most explicitly personal songwriting to date. This speaks to the journey the
bandmates have each gone through in the years since their last LP, resolutely and fiercely committed to Our
Girl, these three great friends not only know themselves better, but they know what they want to say, and
exactly how they want it to sound.[info sheet from distr.]
