Dark Dark Horse – Frontiers (Little Fanfare)

| Dark Dark Horse - Frontiers |
Release Date: Out Now
When you listen to this latest
release from Leicestershire’s Dark Dark Horse you can’t help but conjure images
of Westerns, cowboys looking moodily out over endless plains and skin that
looks and (probably) feels like the leather chaps straddling the horse. Then,
when you watch the video for ‘Frontiers’, you realise that the duo have gone
full-on with this imagery and that feels kinda satisfying. The saloon piano has
a sad, twilight tone to it that wouldn’t be out of place at the start of an
episode of Westworld but then this morphs smoothly in to something akin to Delphic
telling a ‘once upon a time’ Wild West story to subdued synths and a pulsing
beat. The build on this track is slow but that just adds to its charm and you
can’t help but be enveloped in its warm embrace. There was a band from
Manchester called Contact Mo who I dearly loved and excelled in a similarly
downbeat but comfortingly uplifting style and I just hope Dark Dark Horse don’t
suffer the same fate (i.e. quietly shuffling off in to the night without
getting the recognition they deserved).
