Goat Girl – motorway

Goat Girl – motorway

Goat Girl, the South London trio known for their indie spirit, just dropped “motorway,” a single that’s both a throwback and a forward leap. The track opens with a hypnotic vocal riff, birthed from lead singer Lottie Pendlebury’s quest to center the song around her voice’s dynamic turns and melodies. Anchored by a simple sub-bass and enveloped in electronic influences, the song captures a vibe reminiscent of nostalgic car rides and fleeting city visits. The lyrics, starting as a playful annoyance during the songwriting process, evolved into a compelling refrain that sets the stage for the entire track. “motorway” represents a significant shift towards a more electronic, pop-infused sound for the band, intentionally blending noughties pop nostalgia with modern indie sensibilities. This approach is further emphasized by drummer Rosy Jones and bassist Holly Mullineaux, whose contributions—ranging from melodic sub bass synths to spacious drum patterns—shape the song’s unique sonic landscape. The single comes with a visually engaging music video directed by Holly Blakey, capturing the essence of the song’s themes through a mix of fantasy and introspection.
