CMU Approved
Approved: Our Girl
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 25 June 2018
Following a handful of single and EP releases over the last eighteen months, Our Girl are set to release their debut album, ‘Stranger Today’, on 17 Aug.
Ahead of that, they’ve just released new single ‘In My Head’. Its swirling, shoegazey feel turned out to be a big influence on the whole album’s sound, recalls guitarist and vocalist Soph Nathan: “I wrote this song during a big time of change in my life which informed a lot of the record. I was feeling particularly confused and regretful about it all one day and the lyrics just came out in one go”.
“Musically it took a bit longer”, she continues. “The bass and vocals were there from the start so it was just figuring out how to build the rest on top. We gave up on it for a while, and about a year after that we played it in a soundcheck in Leeds without thinking, and it all just came out right! It’s one of our favourites to play live now”.
