Following first single “Relief”, Our Girl announce the release of their new album The Good Kind due out 8th November via Bella Union and available to preorder here. To accompany the announcement the band have shared new single “Something About Me Being a Woman”, a track on which Our Girl singer/guitarist Soph Nathan turns over a remark from an acquaintance that was at best “just bad timing” and, at worst, brazen misogyny. The track is all the more lacerating for Nathan’s attention to nuance, building to an explosive climax when her suppressed anger finally spills forth, backed by snarling guitar and crashing cymbals.

Commenting on the track Soph Nathan says: “This song felt like the perfect place to put a lot of frustration after running out of patience with someone who wasn’t treating me very well. I think it’s important to give people the benefit of the doubt, but in this case it went too far, and I got tired of dealing with someone else’s preconceptions, and how they think they’re entitled to treat me. A big theme of this album is making the best of things. It’s a loving record, but in this song I just wanted to let the frustration out”
Additionally, following their recent sold-out shows at The Lexington and Omeara, Our Girl have announced news of an extensive UK tour for late 2024 and early 2025 including their biggest headline show to date at London’s Village Underground in February next year.
