WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8TH
HORSE LORDS
SPAZIO TEATRO 89
Via Fratelli Zoia 89 – Milano
Horse Lords in the last twelve years have been welcomed by music critics as one of the most interesting newcomers in the US underground. And rightly so: absorbed air, precise shirts and glasses, the four from Baltimore represent the latest incarnation of “cultured” American rock, which finds godfathers in the minimalism of Steve Reich and Terry Riley, in the 90’s post-rock of Tortoise and Trans AM and countless other “right” influences: Malian blues, polyrhythms, Talking Heads, Don Van Vliet, micro-tonal music, Teutonic stuff between Klaus Dinger, Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay. The sound stratification of the Horse Lords had already managed to break through the international scene with the unsurpassed Interventions of 2016, but in 2020 the band had confirmed itself with The Common Task and in November 2022 it came out with the sensational new Comradley Objects, a beautiful album inspired to principles of collectivism and abandonment of individuality and included in most of the year-end rankings of sector magazines.
Their live at the latest Le Guess Who? it left the audience who crowded the Pandora hall of the Tivoli dumbfounded and was one of the highlights of the prestigious Dutch festival.
Opening Julia Reidy, Australian experimental guitarist based in Berlin.
