Horse Lords

They already are on pressing #2 of the record I believe, they would re-up the shirts I imagine too if they sold out that fast. Especially as they aren't even getting to tour it for a while.

this is exactly the record I was hoping it'd be. definitely going to be cranking this a ton over the next few weeks of quarantine

same

also, horse lords twitter confirms new round of shirts on the way

Cool, figured. Hope you get one.

Listening to this for the first time right now and fuck am I grinning at how fucking great this is. This is what I need right now. This, and wine.

Oh yeah, so good.

WOW, this is fantastic stuff.

listening to this on weed in the dark last night was wild. It's like a science fiction movie

Our long out of print 2014 NNA Tapes LP Hidden Cities has been repressed! Available on Bandcamp starting tonight at midnight.

yo good looking out, just ordered it!

same!

original post otm

still can't get over the most recent one.

"integral accident" feels very "einstein on the beach" at times.

the mazey design thing on the album cover is a buncha Hs & Ls, right? Ls in the corner and Hs on the sides? right? this is a thought I had while staring at the album cover and pondering the design choice and listening to this. it's very good. "born under punches" works well on a playlist immediately after "fanfare for effective freedom" just fyi

Ha I didn't notice that.

Whoa now I gotta go dig that record out. Listened to it heavily when I first got it, such a great band.

live set out

weird, the link seemed to work earlier, but now i'm sitting down to watch the whole set and i guess it's gone

seems like this would be the place the footage will show up, if the festival folks decide to re-post it:

in the meantime, i really enjoyed this:

sweet

huh, they've got some wacky stuff going on with their frets there, I see. reckon these lads have read a book or two about music theory and whatnot

that's good watchin

hell yes this band rules so hard

that is very cool

awesome, thanks

I'm a sucker for some mictrotonal guitar action. These guys, King Gizzard, Noura Mint Seymali, who else am I missing?

Ahleuchatistas' Arrebato album from a few years back, for starters!

xp Mdou Moctar?

that band with the long name that imago likes?

Lol, that describes most bands imago likes.

I'm checking these out, thanks!

Immediately liking the Ahleuchatistas record. Some pretty string similarities to Horse Lords so far, but also getting Tortoise, Battles, and King Crimson in the mix.

it's a tremendous album

Ah yes, I think I've heard Mdou Moctar before, good stuff

also Harry Partch of course! not rock by any means, but great.

Weirdly, the thing this Mdou Moctar album reminds me of the most is Weld era Neil Young

xp

Well yeah, La Monte Young too

don't sleep on

think it's tommy tedesco @ 2m30s but not sure

Oh shit, this grooves

"When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for an independent band to record a new album, generally the proceeds from touring the previous album are more than enough to pay for it. As the 1-year anniversary of our last album approaches, we find ourselves bursting with new, recordable material, but when we consult the touring ledger are assaulted by dust, cobwebs, tumbleweeds, and find with horror that our accountant is a skeleton! There was of course no tour last year—we have no money!

Fear not, beloved reader, you your beautiful self may be in a position to help! We are appealing to the generosity of our fans (which history has shown to be great) to finance what will be our ninth release, and any bit you can spare will be very meaningful. Any donation over $50 will get you a "free" copy of the record! We're grateful beyond words for your support over the years and into the future, many thanks in advance."

new album "comradely objects" nov. 4

!

Who else here helped to crowdfund this one? I haven’t heard a peep before I saw this link.

Oh nice, last record ruled I imagine this one will too. Interested to see just how far they can stretch the sound.

Had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't "Step On" by the Happy Mondays when I first heard the new track! Sounds good though, looking forward to the record. It was crowdfunded? Where?

Ooh! That sounds v appealing. I need to listen to this immediately I think

Also did not know about crowdfunding

Love an instrumental band that can create compelling music this consistently. I’m always happy to hear whatever HL has to offer, so far at least.

If you contributed to our crowdfunding last year and didn’t send us your email and address, now is the time! We have names but not deets - horselordsb✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧

Oh shit ... I forgot I contributed to the crowdfunding. Thanks for the reminder, MacDara.

ha, i crowdfunded also but completely forgot. love this track, gets almost poppy but still sounds like them. they're amazing in how they can push and warp their 'formula' for lack of a better word
