Today, Brooklyn-based artist country girl shares “i like that” (out now via FADER Label), an immaculately arranged and breezily whispered ode to the little flaws – funny tattoos and sleeve-chewing habits – that make us fall in love. Setting the earnest yearning and daydream strum of the best Lilith Fair pop atop a shuffling rhythm that LEN would happily sample, “i like that” is a miniature marvel of indie romanticism; Listen HERE.

Watch the pastoral, sea salt-tinged visualizer for “i like that” HERE.

country girl says, “‘i like that’ is a song about being present with the little things in a person you care for. Not necessarily the perfect things, but the human things: how they chew on their sleeves, the stink of their cigarettes, the little scar on their lip. The things that make a person feel intimate to you, unique, true… I like to notice those things, and this song is about that. Do you like that? I like that. I hope you like that too. :)”

Raised in New York and now based in Brooklyn, country girl was home-schooled as a teen to study classical composition at Juilliard, sequestered away from contemporary music and influenced instead by the lush textures of composers like Maurice Ravel and Steve Reich. country girl synthesizes his classical upbringing with a studied appreciation for modern pop craft to create songs that feels like the very essence of a sticky New York summer, an exploration of those little moments when your heart bursts out of your chest, when you have to pour a whole bottle of water on your head and you don’t even feel cold when it hits.

“i like that” is country girl’s third single, following the swooning “your favorite girl” and the addictive gem “tastes like cherry.”

The warm season may be winding down but country girl is just winding up, keeping the nostalgic fever-dream of summer alive well into the fall. New Yorkers can catch them live at Brooklyn’s Herbert Von King Park on October 13.
