horsegiirL is an artist who embraces anonymity. In this anonymity, she chooses to represent herself as a horse, forcing her fans to center the musical macrocosm she creates. In this macrocosm, she explores the depths of techno and how it can be a force that brings people together and grounds them.
In her most recent single, “earth is turning,” she uses the song as a space of tranquility but also a space of ignition. The track starts light and airy, and then horsegiirL comes in with her raspy voice. The track then rapidly accelerates and transitions to a hard techno beat. This stuns the listener, but intrigues them to stay for more. She incorporates a lot of earthy sounds, adding a very relaxing, grounding effect that contrasts with the brash techno beat.
This dichotomy represents a turning point, as things are shifting, which horsegiirL emphasizes in her lyrics. Her lyrics serve as an omen of where the earth is leading. It puts things into motion. Maybe horsegiirL will reveal to us where the earth is leading us in her upcoming album, Nature is Healing, releasing June 5th on RCA Records.
