"Ok Cowgirl Unveils 'Rhinestone Cowgirl' Album"
This Friday, Brooklyn-based indie rock band Ok Cowgirl is set to release their new album “Rhinestone Cowgirl,” produced by Alex Farrar, known for his work with notable acts like MJ Lenderman and Indigo De Souza. Alongside the album, the band will unveil the title track as a single, accompanied by a music video, marking a significant milestone in their musical journey.
“Rhinestone Cowgirl” showcases the band’s evolution since their debut album, “Couldn’t Save Us From My Gut.” The new LP is described as their most expansive and refined work yet, featuring emotionally resonant songwriting and rich arrangements that have garnered attention from music critics. The album’s singles—”Rock N Roll Ruined My Life,” “Cruise The Town,” “God Made A Farmer,” and “Prepared To Lose”—have already received acclaim from platforms like Brooklyn Vegan, Under The Radar, and FLOOD Magazine.
Ok Cowgirl is not just a band; they’re a representation of the indie rock spirit from a bygone era, embracing a DIY ethos and communal vibe. The band’s lineup, led by vocalist Leah Lavigne, includes guitarist Jacob Sabinsky, multi-instrumentalist John Miller, bassist Ryan Work, and drummer Matt Birkenholz. Their sound marries nostalgic Americana influences with modern indie rock, earning them comparisons to legends like Sheryl Crow and contemporary artists like Waxahatchee and Angel Olsen.
Thematically, “Rhinestone Cowgirl” grapples with the human experience, reflecting on acceptance, loss, and the complexities of relationships. Its narrative invites listeners to find solace in shared struggles, creating a sense of camaraderie that is both relatable and profound. Lavigne’s lyrics often strike a balance between humor and sorrow, capturing the essence of life’s unpredictability.
In addition to the album launch, Ok Cowgirl will perform live at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn on the same day. Following this release show, they are scheduled to embark on a Midwest tour in September, making stops in cities including Nashville and Chicago. This tour is anticipated to further cement their presence in the indie rock scene, showcasing their energetic performances and deepening connection with fans.
With “Rhinestone Cowgirl,” Ok Cowgirl stands poised to make a significant impact. This album represents more than just music; it encapsulates a journey of growth, resilience, and the enduring power of rock and roll. As they prepare to bring their new sounds to audiences, the band invites fans to engage with their latest work and become part of their musical tapestry.
