Horse Lords: Demand To Be Taken To Heaven Alive! (white vinyl) LP

The music on Horse Lords' "Demand To Be Taken To Heaven Alive!" feels both impossibly detailed and eminently human. The twelve pieces assembled are layered, interwoven, tonally and rhythmically complex - moiré-like patterns of interaction and tessellation that play out for both mind and body, full of sonic warrens with an inescapable groove. Artists aren't necessarily scientists, logicians, or spiritual leaders, but through their personal understanding of order and experience, they provide experiential access to heightened states of both materiality and immateriality. There are numerous sonic and conceptual layers in "D2BTA2H!", but given the music's undeniable power and humanity, the process of unpacking them is enthusiastic and deeply rewarding.
