PLANCHA has released a Japan-exclusive CD version of the latest album by the Baltimore-based experimental rock band Horse Lords—their fourth release on RVNG Intel., including a collaboration with Arnold Dreyblatt. Taking the pleasure of computer-generated just intonation, irregular time signatures, and repetition to new heights, this is a multidimensional sonic adventure where multiple timelines and perceptions of pitch clash with a visceral sense of movement. A magical intellectual utopia unique to Horse Lords, where intellect and ecstasy stand in tension. (Adachi)
Track List
The music on Horse Lords’ Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! is incredibly intricate, yet at the same time possesses a deeply human warmth. The 12 tracks are intricately interwoven in multiple layers, unfolding with complexity in both timbre and rhythm. Moiré-like interactions and repetitive patterns engage both the mind and the body, creating a labyrinth of countless sounds while maintaining an irresistible groove.
A groundbreaking work that further expands the band’s unique musical language cultivated over many years, Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! aims to transport listeners into a spiritual, ecstatic, and utopian sonic space. (From the press release)
