Murky Number from Dead Horse One
You know, I don’t think too many people talk about the scene over in France, aside from a few acts. So when I got this heads-up on Dead Horse One, I was a bit intrigued, and then I was pleased. The band has crafted a blend of early shoegaze with hint of psychedelia, creating a heavy sound that begs your attention today. Earlier this year they released their Heavenly Choir of Jet Engines EP, and while it might be a short affair (4 tracks), it’s been really rewarding listening to the wash of guitars coated in this odd pop approach. It’s clear that the French aren’t worried about pretense here, aiming to craft their own unique sound.
