"'Prepared to Lose' plays like the type of Carolina-set rock music Wednesday has been blazing new trails within, only with catchier hooks in lieu of heavy feedback."

"'It Wasn’t You, It Was A Feeling' is a proper introduction to the next chapter of Ok Cowgirl, one that is already promising an artistic evolution from an already singular band."

Ok Cowgirl today have shared their new single "God Made A Farmer" from their Alex Farrar (MJ Lenderman, Indigo De Souza, Wednesday) produced LP Rhinestone Cowgirl, due out August 21st via Easy Does It Records. The infectious, anthemic ballad sees Leah's Lavigne's down to earth vocals and a soaring slide guitar trade off over a swaying rhythm section. "God Made A Farmer" follows lead single "Prepared To Lose," which earned praise and support from FLOOD Magazine, The Line of Best Fit, and more.
"I wrote this song about people sharing many of the same struggles and the same joys," Lavigne explains. "I think it’s important to try and relate to each other and have each other's backs in this dysfunctional society where those at the very top benefit from us everyday people remaining fractured and at odds with each other. People spend so much energy fixating on differences and being judgemental. I wish we could approach each other with mutual respect, curiosity, and an honest effort at empathy."
On Rhinestone Cowgirl, the Brooklyn-based indie rock outfit seems to be sharpening the emotionally direct songwriting and textured arrangements that have become their signature. Led by vocalist Lavigne, the band's new sophomore LP follows 2024's debut Couldn't Save Us From My Gut, and where that record traced the fault lines of self-trust and romantic unraveling, Rhinestone Cowgirl widens the lens. It's a bigger, brighter, more self-assured record, one that trades the debut's inward spiral for something closer to catharsis.
Produced once again by Alex Farrar (MJ Lenderman, Indigo De Souza, Wednesday), Rhinestone Cowgirl deepens the creative partnership that shaped the band's debut while pushing the sound into new territory.
If the debut was about what gets lost, Rhinestone Cowgirl is about what gets carried forward. It's an album about identity, endurance, and the strange grace of showing up as yourself anyway, rhinestones and all.
The band is set to play two live shows in New York: July 17th at Union Pool, and their record release show, August 22nd at Baby's All Right. Their debut LP Couldn't Save Us From My Gut, also produced by Farrar, which earned praise and support from Brooklyn Vegan, Paste Magazine, Under The Radar, The Line of Best Fit (feature), FLOOD (premiere), MXDWN (review), Atwood Magazine (feature), Glide Magazine, and more.
"God Made A Farmer" is out today via Easy Does It Records.
