{"product_id":"girl-our-stranger-today-5053760040521","title":"Stranger Today","description":"\u003cbr\u003eAt first, it’s diffit to pinpoint exactly what makes Our Girl so special, or why the Brighton-formed, London-based trio’s music stands out within a busy crowd of fellow guitar-wielding-types. But if an explanation didn’t jump out when they first emerged with a debut EP of mighty fuzz-soaked songs in November 2016, it surfaces with ‘Stranger Today’, a debut album of personal, emotional juggernauts that could have only been made by these three people: Guitarist \/ vocalist Soph Nathan, bassist Josh Tyler and drummer Lauren Wilson. \u003cbr\u003eSince forming in Nathan and Tyler’s Brighton home four years ago – Wilson joining as a late recruit when she was wowed by a demo of their self-titled debut track, and ‘Stranger Today’’s opener – Our Girl’s members have only had pockets of time to work together. A day booked in a local studio here, a soundcheck there, full-time jobs and other projects meant the three rarely had a concentrated, collective patch. This changed in September 2017, when they stayed in Eve Studios in Stockport for a week, recording with Bill Ryder-Jones. Their week in Stockport became a crucial catalyst for what would follow. Ryder-Jones is a guitar virtuoso himself (“He did stuff neither me or Soph had ever seen anyone do before,” Tyler remarks), and he became an unofficial fourth member of the group. \u003cbr\u003e‘Stranger Today’ is a special debut for several reasons: First, because it’s the sound of a band beginning to grasp their own value and place in the world. Secondly, because you can hear the trio’s hunger to finally get in the same room and put to tape years’ worth of scrapbooks, half-finished ideas, and a slowly-forming feel for how their first album would actually sound. “What band isn’t itching to make their debut? But it’s quite frightening, knowing you’re about to do it,” Wilson remembers. \u003cbr\u003eThe real clincher, however, is Our Girl’s dynamic, and how it plays out across ‘Stranger Today’.","brand":"Cannibal Hymns (Rough Trade)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53862018384214,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_5053760040521_1.jpg?v=1779160069","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/girl-our-stranger-today-5053760040521","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
