South London quartet Goat Girl reveal ramshackle single "Country Sleaze", their first for Rough Trade.
The teenage four-piece will be releasing their debut single on 7 October.
"Country Sleaze" sees Goat Girl mixing early Pixies grit with Courtney Barnett's deadpan drawl - it's ferocious and it's serrated and it's breathtakingly raw.
Goat Girl are playing London's Brixton Windmill on 6 October to launch the single. They've got dates planned with Yung, Parquet Courts, and Yak - check out the full schedule at the bottom of the page.
