There’s something special brewing when you listen to Houndsteeth‘s latest single; it offers these overlapping vocal harmonies that rise and fall, like playful breaths of exaltation. That said, the weaving of vocal patterns is just one of the many draws you’ll likely find on the group’s new LP, Hold Your Horses. I love the little miniature movements within the song; you’ll find delicate traditional songwriting, and yet it always leads to the track falling into new patterns as the vocals tease and pull at one another. For some reason, some of the way it feels antithetical to natural rhythms reminds me of Pinback in a sense, as everything feels haphazardly pieced together, only to reveal itself as a ornately woven tune. Hold Your Horses is out on October 27th via Otherly Love Records.
