Okay, 2020 has been a year. And yep, here’s another blog post calling out what you already know very well. Fair enough. As we’ve moved through this year with so many twists and turns, what’s been… not necessarily surprising but, greatly appreciated, is the amount of great music that has shown up to help make this year a little brighter, a little deeper, a little more nuanced in the best possible ways.

I Break Horses’ latest release Warnings, turns out to be just as captivating as their previous two. Full of swirling dynamic loops, ethereal beats, and captivating hooks, the album takes you on a journey through what feels like a multitude of dreamscapes of high-floating wonderment. Playing within synth-laden atmospherics that send you into the late night just as fog rolls in, there’s something to be said about the wash of sound that comes with this album. Okay, that’s a lot of fancy words just to say I really really enjoy the moodiness of this record.
