I was going to wait for the record to come out [March 17, 2009] to post a piece about this Australian band. But then I listened to the track and felt a sense of urgency. Check these guys out.
From the press release:
It is not because Kate is the size of jockey or because Damon was once kicked by a goat that Queensland, Australia's An Horse bears its name. There's no sense in that. A friend once gave Kate a sweater with An Horse written on it because he thought it was grammatically correct. It wasn't and that was quite a long time ago but Kate still wears the sweater. She hasn't grown in years. Damon still remembers the goat like it was yesterday.
Kate Cooper and Damon Cox share common interests. And when someone forgets their toothpaste on tour they'll share that too. There isn't a whole lot more to it...I guess.
An Horse came to mom & pop via Sara Quin of Tegan and Sara, who the band met during one of Tegan and Sara’s Australian tours.
“Kate’s lyrics about love, relationships and the tendency to fixate on disabling neurosis in oneself have become my mission statement,” said Quin, who is collaborating closely with An Horse on their forthcoming release. “I get goose bumps, electrical currents running up my arms listening to them – I love this band.”
Rearrange Beds will be in stores on March 17th through mom & pop music co., but it's available on iTunes right now.
In the meantime, get "Postcards" into your iPod for free...
