Horse Lords is a genre-defying band, originally from Baltimore, Maryland, known for their hypnotic rhythms, intricate polyrhythms, and innovative use of traditional and electronic instruments. Their methodical compositions deliver a visceral experience, with driving beats and intertwining melodies that can build to ecstatic heights. Their live performances are known for their intensity and openness for improvisation, with each individual member able to redirect parts of the dynamic interplay that defines their sound. As heard on their latest album Comradely Objects (2022), the band finds a playful streak within their tightly-locked compositions, playing with ideas of how to structure a song and the way you can then disrupt it and create something wholly new and exciting all at the same time — which on stage translates to spontaneous sets that allow the band to explore their circuitous music in fun and unexpected ways.
