Horsegirl — the New York-via-Chicago trio of best friends Nora Cheng, Penelope Lowenstein, and Gigi Reece — have released "Frontrunner" as the final single off their forthcoming second album, Phonetics On and On.

"Frontrunner", following previously released singles "Julie", "Switch Over", and "2468", lyrically leads the listener through familiar scenes of girlhood and youth, with Lowenstein tenderly singing about a quiet morning reading in bed with your partner sleeping beside you: “In the morning / When you’re sleeping / I can’t wait and I can’t wait to compromise / In the morning / When you’re sleeping - I can’t wait and I can’t wait.”

Directed and edited by the band, the "Frontrunner" video depicts Lowenstein, Reece, and Cheng searching for one another in various locations throughout their hometown of Chicago.

Phonetics On and On, is set for release on 14 February via Matador.
