CRITIC REVIEWS

While not the only contemporary act revisiting the post- rock aesthetic of the 1990s, Horse Lords may be the most consistently surprising and inventive thanks to their fluidity and versatility.

doesn’t have a bagpipe interlude like their last album so it isn’t quite touching that one but the higher emphasis on krautrock style grooves and passages make this very fun and nice
Very interesting approach to compose music mostly by using pattern / intervals ("Zero Degree Machine", Plain Hunt on Four") or experimental electronic ("Law of Movement"). The result is highly worth hearing, ornate, particular and sophisticated, close to minimalism and never easy listening. Maybe it's a risk that someone will find it boring - what doesn't apply to me.
