Brown Horse
"UK’s answer to America’s indie-country boom strike again, with a third great album in as many years." —Brooklyn Vegan
"These kind of circuitous songs that are built with guitars layered on guitars layered on guitars. I think this band does that so confidently and so well... this is just a stellar record." —NPR All Songs Considered
"Total Dive is an album that weighs you down, as tumbling words, sticky guitars, roiling basslines, and militaristic drums march forward while you sink to your knees. It’s part-Jason Molina, part-Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, and entirely self-possessed." —Paste
Their strongest and most grounded work to date, Total Dive showcases a new level of skill and assurance in the band’s thoughtful lyricism and musicality. Leaning away from the playfulness and eclecticism of their previous works, Total Dive sees Brown Horse step forward into the darkness with a cautious optimism. As they move confidently between searing noise and delicate reflection, they take time to note the beauty and agony of the mundane; the death rattle of a vending machine, headlights flashing in the eyes of a road-killed fox, the heather-pink of a winter sky.
