The Healing Power of Horses announce debut EP "Summer Indoors (Or Outside Wearing Black) out July 17th on Section1 & share new single "In Yr Right Hand Reveal Heaven"
East Anglian duo The Healing Power of Horses defy easy categorisation, but that's how they like it. They have spent way too much time in the attic making tunes and not enough time outside, and as a result are awfully pallid and bug-eyed and knock-kneed and all the rest.
Now, with the clock running down and the fanfare of Death's march getting louder with every step, they have poked both their heads out of the window and decided to fire a flare gun.Last month the band signed to section1 (RIP Magic, Blonde Redhead, King Princess), the Los-Angeles based sister label to Partisan Records, and offered up their beguiling first single “i wait, i sink”, a debut that would go to make Track Of The Week on BBC 6 Music's Introducing Mixtape and see further support from the likes of International media outlets.
Today the band follow this with news of their debut EP. Coming July 17th, "Summer Indoors (or outside wearing black)" drifts like a transmission caught mid-air with songs that lurch, glide, and shimmer as if caught between memory and dream. Brittle rhythms crack against blown-out textures, giving way to moments of weightless melody that hover just above themselves. The tracks move through flashes of paranoia, mercy, and hope, flickering between the intimate and the uncanny, with each turn revealing something shiny, disorienting, and faintly heavenly.
They also share the second single from the EP, "In Yr Right Hand Reveal Heaven", with the band offering up the following regarding its conception:
"IYRH is music from the castle of heaven, cool and warm. there was a first half written - ground floor tenement glasgow, end of winter - during a riper year of understanding. then the saddest thing ever happened to us and we wrote the second half and glued it together in East Anglian Attic sticky dawn skies big angel. first ☆☆☆ then ♥️♥️♥️. we love you anyway. t&c"
Following sporadic, much talked about shows across the capital and most recently at Brighton's The Great Escape, the band will next perform for the 5th birthday of their label section1, this time in support of RIP Magic.
More shows will follow.
