About this product
The more hopeful 'sunrise' to 2018's critically acclaimed Slow Sundown, Horse finds Tallinn, Estonia's Holy Motors acknowledging the Americana and rockabilly strands of their musical DNA without sacrificing any of the otherworldly mystique that keeps them from neatly conforming to the shoegaze and dreampop labels often applied to their music.From the album's opening moments, songs like InchCountry Church,Inch with it's major key and classic rhythm and blues guitarline, and InchMidnight Cowboy,Inch which sounds like a lost Buddy Holly 45 played at 33 rpm, make it clear that Horse - even if it may not accomplish the impossible task of demystifying this band of ex-Soviet cowboys - will at least show you that there's more to them than the near-impenetrable darkness of their work to date may suggest. While tracks like InchTroubleInch and InchEndless NightInch gravitate towards the ethereal production and existential subject matter of prior releases, repeat listens will reveal the same complex compositions and humanity that are much more a hallmark of Horse's eight songs.As a whole, Horse stands as a warmer, more human counterpoint to 2018's celestial Slow Sundown. As to which of the two entries better approximates Holy Motors' natural set point, only time will tell. Album Tracks 1. Country Church 2. Endless Night 3. Midnight Cowboy 4. Road Stars 5. Matador 6. Come on, Slowly 7. Trouble 8. Life Valley (So Many Miles Away)

Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 . Ask any New Yorker what makes them special and they'll all tell you something different. But there's something very particular about a city so condensed with a vast range of humanity all facing myriad daily challenges that gives it's rock music a brash, direct aggression unlike other places. Case in point, NYC trio Blackout's take on doom and stoner rock is filled with a gritty, mechanistic heft unlike bands of their ilk from anywhere else. Subsumed within the greasy grooves of The Horse there are echoes of NYC heavy legends like Helmet, Cro-Mags, Judge, Prong and others - not as intentional homage, but rather a vibe that permeates and inadvertently gives it's bands a unique power that few can match. After a brief hiatus between the March 2015 of their self-titled sophomore album on RidingEasy Records, Blackout has regrouped and (ahem) gotten back on The Horse for an eight-song blast of riffs that does not F**k around. On one fateful day in July 2016, with a handful of mushrooms and a bottle of tequila, vocalist/guitarist Christian Gordy set out to write an entire new Blackout record. Following the departure of original drummer Taryn Waldman earlier that year, the band's fate was uncertain. But, Gordy's writing forray resulted in a wellspring of inspiration and by happenstance he contacted drummer Adam Taylor who had just parted with his band Ghost Punch. Within two months of banging out riffs with bassist Justin Sherrell, Blackout was back in action. The Horse was recorded over four days in September 2016 at Spaceman Sound in Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood, which the band describes as Incha whirlwind session laced with loads of buds, Petey's burgers and lipstick.Inch Or, described by blackout themselves InchWhat you have before you now is a messy plate of meat, slathered in weird sauces. A haunted steak from from Centaurus A to sink

Vinyl LP pressing. An Horse's Kate Cooper and Damon Cox met working at a Brisbane independent record store Skinny in the mid-2000s, forming a band together in 2017. Cooper gave a CD of their roughly mixed debut EP Not Really Scared to Tegan and Sara after an in-store performance at Skinny, and quickly got invited to open their 2008 US tour. That led to a Mom + Pop signing, and the of their critically acclaimed 2009 debut, Rearrange Beds which saw the band touring the world, performing on David Letterman, and opening from everyone from Silversun Pickups to Cage The Elephant to Dashboard Confessional. 2011 follow-up, Walls debuted at No. 17 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. After a string of headlining tours, as well as support slots with Manchester Orchestra and Brand New, An Horse went quiet. Following a five year hiatus An Horse reunited in 2018, issued the brand new single InchGet Out SomehowInch and hit the road for the first time since 2013. In 2019, the band will be releasing a new album on Lame-O Records. The tag will also be re-issuing their 2009 breakout album Rearrange Beds, on vinyl for the first time ever. Album Tracks 1.
