Horse Lords, “Bending to the Lash”

Get on your morning tuneout tip with our premiere of Horse Lords' “Bending to the Lash”, a song that builds from krautrock spasming of the noise variety to a tight, adroit adaptation of what seems like acid jazz, but is more like psych. It never slows down with its upright bass line moving through fields of droney samples, and a crisp hi-hat manages to accelerate things that much faster and the buildup is subtle and forthcoming. It never quite breaks over the edge, though, and that's what makes it so strong.

This Horse Lords song will release through Famous Class's LAMC project, with an A-side from Lower Dens.
