The British "slacker twang" band Brown Horse announced their album Total Dive in January, and now it's almost here. They've since followed lead single "Twister" with opening track "Sorrow Reigns." Today they add one more preview, "Wreck."
Although the group's handy genre descriptor suggests they're imbibing our nation's Wednesday/Lenderman supply and selling it back to us, British Invasion style, there's a lot more going on in here. Yeah, stated influences like Uncle Tupelo and Magnolia Electric Co. are apparent in Brown Horse's bleary churn, but Patrick Turner's bellows call back to other storied traditions, like the British folk lineage that runs from Richard Thompson to the Tubs. And if you grew up on Pearl Jam and R.E.M., I bet you'll love this stuff.
Hear "Wreck" and "Sorrow Reigns" below.
