Ægte musiknørderi udfoldes i en alsidig blanding af freejazz, ørkenblues og djent-inspireret polyrytmik, når Andrew Bernstein (saxofon, percussion), Max Eilbacher (bas, elektronik), Owen Gardner (guitar) og Sam Haberman (trommer) mødes under navnet Horse Lords. Allerede ved deres første udspil “Horse Lords” fra 2012 blev de et kendt navn i de progressive og alternative musikkredse, hvilket sikrede dem turneer med navne som Matmos, Guerilla Toss og Guardian Alien. Albummet “Interventions” 2016 gjorde dem for alvor til et ombejlet navn og blev flere steder udråbt til et mesterværk. Med dets særegne crossover af improvisation og komposition, elektronik og håndspillet rock var albummet at finde på mange lister over årets bedste plader. Horse Lords er nu på trapperne med deres femte studiealbum “Comrade Objects” (2024). Førstesinglen “Mess Mend” er bare en smagsprøve på bandets nye udforskninger af en forenet musikalsk og politisk vision, som kommer til udtryk gennem pulserende polyrytmer og uforlignelige samklange.
Horse Lords imponerer langt fra kun på plade. De er også kendte for at have leveret en række overrumplende koncerter samt flere stærke live-videoer, som i dén grad har slået deres navn fast som et band, man ikke skal snyde sig selv for at opleve live, hvis man får muligheden. Horse Lords har allerede spillet på ALICE flere gange og nu får vi fornøjelsen af den højtelskede amerikanske kvartet til oktober, når de vender tilbage med nyt album.
Gwenifer Raymond
Trods sin walisiske baggrund har Raymond markeret sig som en prægnant fortolker af den amerikanske guitar-tradition. I sin ungdom spillede hun punk og grunge, men bl.a. Nirvanas fortolkning af den amerikanske blues-legende Leadbelly sendte hende i retning af den amerikanske folkemusik – fra blues til Appalachian folk, og ikke mindst på sporet af American Primitive guitarister som John Fahey.
Hendes funklende finger picking spil på både guitar og banjo trækker på stærke rødder og solide forbilleder, men hun er også en musiker med sin egen personlige stil – en stil, der vækker benovelse i USA, hvor det markante label Tompkins Square har taget hende i folden. Debutalbummet “You Never Were Much of a Dancer” fik fantastiske anmeldelser, og ambitionsniveauet hæves på det seneste fremragende album “Strange Lights Over Garth Mountain” (2020). Så der er i den grad noget at glæde sig til, når Gwenifer Raymond giver koncert på ALICE denne aften.

In English:
True musical nerdiness unfolds in a versatile mix of free jazz, desert blues, and West African rhythms when the four American musicians in Horse Lords come together. After several unforgettable concerts at ALICE, the live-renowned band returns in October with their fifth studio album. The Welsh Gwenifer Raymond treads exciting paths with guitar and banjo in an American-inspired landscape. She will perform before Horse Lords this evening.
Horse Lords
True musical nerdiness unfolds in a versatile mix of free jazz, desert blues, and djent-inspired polyrhythms when Andrew Bernstein (saxophone, percussion), Max Eilbacher (bass, electronics), Owen Gardner (guitar), and Sam Haberman (drums) come together under the name Horse Lords. Already with their first release, “Horse Lords” from 2012, they became a well-known name in progressive and alternative music circles, securing tours with names such as Matmos, Guerilla Toss, and Guardian Alien. The album “Interventions” (2016) truly established them as a coveted name and was hailed as a masterpiece in several places. With its distinctive crossover of improvisation and composition, electronics, and hand-played rock, the album appeared on many lists of the best records of the year. Horse Lords are now on the verge of releasing their fifth studio album “Comrade Objects” (2024). The first single “Mess Mend” is just a taste of the band's new explorations of a united musical and political vision, expressed through pulsating polyrhythms and incomparable harmonies.
Horse Lords impress not only on record. They are also known for delivering a series of astonishing concerts and several strong live videos, which have firmly established their name as a band not to be missed live if given the chance. Horse Lords have already played at ALICE several times, and now we have the pleasure of welcoming the beloved American quartet back in October when they return with a new album.
Gwenifer Raymond
Despite her Welsh background, Raymond has made a significant mark as a prominent interpreter of the American guitar tradition. In her youth, she played punk and grunge, but it was, among other things, Nirvana’s interpretation of the American blues legend Leadbelly that steered her towards American folk music – from blues to Appalachian folk, and particularly towards the path of American Primitive guitarists like John Fahey.
Her sparkling fingerpicking on both guitar and banjo draws from strong roots and solid role models, but she is also a musician with her own personal style – a style that has garnered admiration in the US, where the renowned label Tompkins Square has embraced her. Her debut album, "You Never Were Much of a Dancer," received fantastic reviews, and the level of ambition rises even higher with her latest outstanding album, "Strange Lights Over Garth Mountain" (2020). So there is definitely much to look forward to when Gwenifer Raymond performs at ALICE this evening.
