After the calm and sublime People Used To Live Here, SPOOK THE HORSES, hailing from Wellington, New Zealand deliver their ferocious new album, Empty Body.
With distortion levels cranked up, tempoes sped up and songs condensed and stripped down to the bare, ugly essentials, Empty Body comes as a brutal wake-up call within the rampant covid-19 fatigue, and an unexpected surprise in almost every regard.
The band comment on the song, “‘Inheritance‘ is the final song on and single off of ‘Empty Body’, the formidable new album from Spook the Horses, out August 28th via Pelagic Records. Inheritance’s video (produced by Max and Felix Telfer and viewable in 180° VR) recalls the surreal digital landscapes of the band’s past work; but what was once a was a flowing river of hues and sound now gives way to the jagged, kinetic rhythms of ‘Empty Body’s frenetic conclusion. Pulsing and writhing to the stabs of bass and percussion, seething alongside guitars and screams, the prismatic topography of Inheritance grips your attention and refuses to relinquish it.“
Empty Body will be released on August 28 via Pelagic Records. Pre Orders are available now.
