Bio provided by artist:
Cambridge-hailing duo The Healing Power of Horses’ debut EP on section1, the Los Angeles-based sister label to Partisan Records, drifts like a transmission caught mid-air with songs that lurch, glide, and shimmer as if caught between memory and dream. Brittle rhythms crack against blown-out textures, giving way to moments of weightless melody that hover just above themselves. The tracks move through flashes of paranoia, mercy, and hope, flickering between the intimate and the uncanny, with each turn revealing something shiny, disorienting, and faintly heavenly. Drawing from a vivid internal collage that spans Dancer in the Dark, Adaptation, and the spectral gloss of early internet imagery, alongside the interior worlds of writers like George Eliot and Sayaka Murata, the record gleams between the intimate and the surreal. There is no singular narrative so much as a shared atmosphere, a sense that the music is reaching toward something just out of reach. Guided by first takes and a refusal to overwork anything, The Healing Power of Horses arrive with a debut that feels immediate and unfiltered, chasing that elusive sense of heaven, however briefly it appears.
