Brighton, U.K. trio Our Girl’s debut album, Stranger Today, is the perfect gift for the listener that loves a good musical dichotomy. Fronted by The Big Moon’s Soph Nathan, the band exudes the sweet-and-tender-meets-heavy-and-formidable sound of groups like the Pixies and My Bloody Valentine with their cathartic, thoughtful pop/rock and distorted shoegaze and grunge. As much as the term “grunge” has been thrown around to describe the band, it doesn’t fully account for the beauty and richness of Nathan’s songs and guitar playing. Paste recently featured Stranger Today on our list of 10 Great Albums You Might’ve Missed in 2018 and we also premiered their video for “Being Around.” Our Girl will perform at this year’s Pickathon Festival in Oregon.
