Michael Upton I watched the video of them playing Truther for ages and finally took the plunge on an album. Good choice. The combination of repetition and abrupt changes is so dramatic it sometimes makes me laugh, as do the wild rhythms. A massive breath of fresh air from my usual ambient listening. Favorite track: Integral Accident.

hold-no-carter Math Rock that succeeds at not being too pretentious, not being too dumbed down, and also GOING THIS FUCKING HARD!! Top notch, need more bagpipes for socialism. Favorite track: Against Gravity.

Benjamin Jelinek Some of the most liberating music to come out during this oppressive year... thank you Horse Lords for freeing my mind and limbs. Probably tied for my AOTY along with Anna Von Hausswolf’s new record Favorite track: Integral Accident.

about

Horse Lords make music for the liberation of mind and body. The Baltimore quartet's new album The Common Task points to a utopian, modernist ideal, recalling as diverse a cohort as The Ex and Glenn Branca to raucous Saharan guitar music, Albert Ayler, and James Tenney. As evidenced by the album’s title, as well as songs like “Fanfare for Effective Freedom” and “People’s Park,” the band’s penchant for radical politics is especially accentuated on this release.

Horse Lords are the Pied Piper of experimental music and radical thought. Their music is unabashedly fun, and experiencing it in a live context is an experience of collective ecstasy, each body moving to its own notion of what the beat may be. By showing just how joyous it can be to imagine new futures and possibilities, by making us dance and howl with each tectonic shift, they show how dazzling the path towards utopia could be.
