Release Notes: The music on Horse Lords’ Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! feels both impossibly detailed and eminently human. The twelve pieces assembled are layered, interwoven, tonally and rhythmically complex––moiré-like patterns of interaction and tessellation that play out for both mind and body, full of sonic warrens with an inescapable groove. Artists aren’t necessarily scientists, logicians, or spiritual leaders, but through their personal understanding of order and experience, they provide experiential access to heightened states of both materiality and immateriality.Horse Lords were founded in Baltimore in 2010; they evolved from another group called Teeth Mountain and began as a trio with guitarist Owen Gardner, bassist Max Eilbacher, drummer Sam Haberman, soon adding alto saxophonist Andrew Bernstein to the core ensemble. Though the quartet grew out of a fertile noise and experimental rock scene, a storied environment for artists and weirdos that has nurtured many an influential outsider band (Lungfish, Matmos), their approach across six albums, various collaborations and as a celebrated live act has been more omnivorous than the stippled rhythms of instrumental electric rock would indicate. For this outing, they are augmented by bass clarinetist Madison Greenstone, trombonist Weston Olencki, and in a first for Horse Lords, vocals courtesy Nina Guo and Evelyn Saylor.
