Horse Lords - Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! (2026) [Hi-Res]

The Baltimore-based experimental quartet Horse Lords is releasing their new album, "Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive!," continuing their tradition of eclectic styling. The band's music combines just intonation, complex interlocking rhythms, elements of krautrock, and the academic avant-garde within a framework of total instrumental egalitarianism. The primary innovation of this release is the introduction of unintelligible, heavily processed vocals by Nina Guo and Evelyn Saylor, complemented by guest woodwinds and brass. The album ranges from layered, ominously throbbing, and funky compositions to a hypnotic title track, showcasing uncompromising ingenuity and unpredictable arrangements.
