American indie pop crew feeble little horse return with new single ‘This Is Real’.
The band’s 2023 album ‘Girl With Fish’ positively overflowed with ideas, melting together different facets of pop-edged indie into a surreal but ultimately totally addictive elixir.
Set to hit Europe this summer – catch them at Primavera and Outbreak for instance – feeble little horse will play the Garage in London on June 12th.
New track ‘This Is Real’ signals their return, and it finds the Pittsburgh group layering different ideas into a thrillingly melodic outing.
A very cellular piece of songwriting, it’s a kind of mini-epic, the various chapters bleeding into one another.
“I think it’s important that this song is released to turn the page, but also to enjoy the product of sitting with something for a record breaking amount of time for us as a band,” says Lydia Slocum. “We wrote our past two albums with this indescribable urgency, and I think ’This Is Real’ happened while the burner was turned to low if that makes sense.”
“I wouldn’t say this track can function as a prophecy for what our sound will become for the next album, but it’s become something no other song will ever quite compare to. I seriously grew so much as a person from the beginning to end of the writing process, since the song started when we had to cancel our tour and finally finished just a few weeks ago. I hope this track can function as a time capsule for our fans the same way it has for us.”
Drummer Jake Kelly adds: “To me, the track is an album’s worth of ideas squished into three minutes, it’s the best out of all four of us so far.”
Tune in now.
