Saddle Up Farmies, HorsegiirL Sleighed This Playlist

This is SOUND ADVICE, a weekly destination for playlists curated by Interview’s friends, enemies, and lovers. Over the past few weeks, we’ve gathered playlists from Sasha Colby, Amaarae, and Sextile. This week, our Fall issue’s finest mare, horsegiirL, joins us from her Berlin barnyard fresh off a new release. “f0rbiidden l0ve$tory” is her first drop since “My Barn My Rules” with MCR-T took TikTok by storm, enchanting farmhands around the world. This time around, she’s flipping Avril Lavigne on her tail: “He was a boy, she was a horse / Can I make it any more difficult?” She took a break from frolicking behind the DJ booth to make us a playlist titled “it’s pasture bedtime,” a thumping hayride of high-energy tracks from Crazy Frog to Brutalismus 3000, and tell us her favorite on-the-road snacks and mane maintenance tips.
