Goat Girl were our ones to watch at the start of 2017 and also stood out at the industry oriented new music festival Eurosonic in January.

The Rough Trade signees have gone from strength-to-strength over the past few weeks and now reveal a Radio 1 session where they play three songs and have a chat and play of their favourite music with Welsh radio legend Huw Stephens. Check it out on Gigwise below.

The band who cut their teeth playing Brixton Windmill are also set to go on tour with Lias Saoudi of Fat White Family's other band, The Moonlandingz. So the session below captures the band at a time where they've just broken out of being hotly-tipped newcomers into a destination band with the potential to sell out tours across the country. Their live sets are testament to their growing success and the sound of the recording below will testify to that.

In the interview with Stephens, we learn that the song 'Creep' is about a "man on the train with the horrible stain" who made the songwriter feel vulnerable. Meanwhile, 'Scum' is written after the general election and is aimed at hate towards the Tories. But they refrain from positing themselves as anarchists: "Our songs are meant for creating conversation rather than change."

One of the other stand out momnets in the indepth feature interview sees them reveal the Scottish band Country Teasers their main musical inspiration, and play out something similarly lo-fi and post-punk as their neatly crafted sound - a sound that deserves to be widely recognised now.
