The heart of An Horse's magic is rubbery and elastic. Rows of slinky, hypnotic spirals, widening middle-out. They've never spun to more vibrant and dynamic impact than on their third album Modern Air.?Loosely from wherever-you're-seeing-them-play-tonight-by-way-of-Brisbane-to-Montreal-and-New-York, Kate & Damon woke up from a six-year nap to make their best, broadest and most accomplished album, doubling-down on and clarifying their strongest strengths while casually developing and showcasing a career's-worth of new ones.?Before their 6 year break, An Horse were 2 albums into their career and touring non-stop with the likes of Tegan and Sara, Death Cab for Cutie, Silversun Pickups, Nada Surf, Cage the Elephant, and Brand New when a series of distracting life events forced them into a hiatus of sorts. That hiatus led to an extended break from touring and recording that's finally ending with their 2019 album Modern Air, out May 3rd on Lame-O Records.?The songs on their new record manage to be both propulsive and loping, lean mission statements about negotiating modern living easter-egged with intelligence and humour, melodic and percussive ear candy, heart and teeth, hope and anger.?They sound like themselves, two-headed and singularly focused, a particularly effective evolutionary step in a long tradition of of guitar-based indie-rock, angular in spaces, jangly in others, sometimes both at the same time. They take a familiar vocabulary and teach it new words, one sugary harmony barbed-wired to unflinching insight at a time.?Modern Air is An Horse at their most realized, and it's right on time. Some naps are worth taking. Album Tracks 1. This Is a Song 2. Live Well 3. Started a Fire 4. Get Out Somehow 5. Bob Ross (Be the Water) 6. Breakfast 7. Ships of Fools 8. Mind Reader 9. Drown 10. Fortitude Valet 11. Begin Again
