Pittsburgh, PA’s feeble little horse surprise release their new album, bitknot, today via Saddle Creek. On the band’s third full-length album, feeble little horse explore the tension between human connection and the isolating effects of capitalism, technology, and modern consumer culture. Sonically, they continue their exploration of making thrilling and wildly unpredictable music, blending expansive arrangements, introspective lyricism, melodic hooks, dense noise textures, and precision drumming into a sound that feels rooted in the early aughts but pointed toward something entirely new at the clumsy conjunction of IRL and WWW.
Throughout bitknot the band contrasts the digital and the physical, questioning ideas of hyperindividualism and self-sufficiency while searching for new forms of interdependence and shared humanity. “The album art is based on the coincidental core memory matrix, which was used in old computers to store memory / access information using 0s and 1s. Each core, or ‘bit,’ is accessed through the grid of wires, like a knot that stores secret details and memories.”
bitknot was written, arranged, produced, and recorded by Sebastian Kinsler, Lydia Slocum, and Jake Kelley across their respective homes in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
feeble little horse are taking their blistering live show on the road through the end of the year. Artist presale (via Seated) begins today with local pre-sales kicking off on Thurs, May 28th and general on-sale on Fri, May 29th.
