Horsegirl was formed in Chicago in 2019 by fans of indie rock, post-punk, and shoegaze. The band members met in high school, honing their guitar, bass, and drum skills while being inspired by Sonic Youth and Pavement. Their early singles, including "Billy" (2020), received local acclaim for demonstrating their raw sound and lyrical depth, laying the groundwork for their rapidly growing fanbase.
The band's debut album, Versions of Modern Performance, was released in 2021 and received critical acclaim as well as streaming success. Festival appearances at Pitchfork Music Festival and Lollapalooza increased their profile. Notable collaborations and support slots for acts such as Stereolab and Alvvays demonstrated their growing influence, and chart positions on indie music lists cemented their status as one of Chicago's breakout acts of the decade.
