Goat Girl Release New Single ‘Words Fell Out’ Ahead of Third Album

Deeply personal track precedes Below The Waste album release on June 7, 2024.

London-based trio Goat Girl has released their latest single, "Words Fell Out" ahead of their forthcoming album Below The Waste, set to drop this Friday, June 7, 2024, via Rough Trade Records. Accompanied by an intimate black-and-white video directed by Molly Ann Pendlebury and choreographed by Lauren Potter, the track offers a deeply personal glimpse into the band's experiences.

Lottie Pendlebury, the band's singer and guitarist, wrote "Words Fell Out" during a challenging period when drummer Rosy Jones was battling addiction. Lottie describes the song as a reflection on the helplessness felt by their friends and the effort to support Rosy. The song’s central theme, expressed in the opening line “I only want the best for you,” encapsulates the spirit of their friendship.

Below The Waste, co-produced by the band and John Spud Murphy, showcases Goat Girl's growth since their self-titled debut in 2018 and their 2021 follow-up On All Fours. The new album blends expansive noise-rock, delicate folk experimentation, and synth-pop, illustrating the band's evolving, confident, and collaborative style.

The release of "Words Fell Out" follows the earlier singles "Motorway" and "Ride Around." The band collaborated with renowned choreographer Holly Blakey for the "Motorway" video, which featured archival Vivienne Westwood pieces styled by Matthew Josephs.

In support of their new album, Goat Girl will embark on a UK Outstore tour starting this week, with additional dates across Europe and the UK later this year. The tour kicks off on June 7 in Kingston and includes performances in cities like London, Nottingham, Leeds, and Bristol. The European leg begins on October 8 in Paris and includes stops in Brussels, Luxembourg City, Nürnberg, Cologne, Berlin, and Utrecht. The UK tour will resume in November with dates in Leeds, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Southampton, and London.
