Our Girl
Our Girl est un trio originaire de Brighton, paisible cité balnéaire devenue en quelques années un véritable vivier de créativité. Menée par la guitariste Soph Nathan (aussi membre de Big Moon), le rock garage d’Our Girl est mâtiné de pop, de noise et de shoegaze. Un sacré mélange qui donne naissance à une musique à la fois nerveuse et épaisse. Il n’en fallait pas plus pour marquer les esprits lors de la dernière édition du festival SxSW où les trois anglais on fait sensation. Leur premier album ‘Stranger Today’ est déjà disponible.

Our Girl have been wowing a growing army of listeners ever since their debut gig supporting Honeyblood in September 2014. It was during that fledging performance that singer/guitarist Soph Nathan realised that, of the five bands she was then playing in, Our Girl was the perfect home for her redoubtable songwriting. The product of a thriving Brighton scene that includes The Magic Gang, Dream Wife and Abattoir Blues, the band are capable of switching from stark tenderness to pulverising noise in a flash. Nathan’s honest, personal lyrics float in a delicious array of sounds: rhythmic drum and guitar hooks make dynamic jumps to thick garage-rock riffs, then suddenly cut to beautiful, intimate moments of lone guitar and reverb-hugged vocals.
