HORSE

BAND DISCOVERED
When I discovered the Australian band Stirr at the beginning of the year, the internet also served up another band for my playlists: horse. Their debut EP Ask Me Again Next Year will be released digitally on July 10. Drawing heavily from UK-inspired post-punk, all of the singles released so far sound remarkably sophisticated and genuinely impressive. The older tracks Blight, The Gap and Headlights, along with the latest single Under Your Sun, have all found a regular spot in my listening rotation.

CHARACTERISTICS THAT APPLY
post-punk driven | substantive | raw

WISH
Of course, I’d love to catch this band live at some point. We’ll see if it ever happens.
