feeble little horse
Few things in life are as fun as jamming with your friends. feeble little horse embodies this joy, both in their creative process and in the scrappy indie rock sounds they generate.
Born in the creative ooze of Pittsburgh’s DIY scene, feeble little horse was formed in early 2021 by Sebastian Kinsler and Ryan Walchonski, who quickly added Jake Kelley to the fold during the recording of their first EP, ‘21s "modern tourism." It was later that year that the group recorded debut full length "Hayday," and were joined by Lydia Slocum, who had also helped with the album’s artwork. With a lineup and a record in place, feeble little horse was set to make some waves.
Clocking in at just over 20 minutes long, Hayday presents a catchy take on noise rock that feels both thrashable and boppable, and was described by "Pitchfork" as a “balance in melodic pop structures and an unflinchingly sardonic perspective.” Buoyed by the reputation of their basement-show-honed live show, feeble little horse quickly signed on with Saddle Creek Records (Big Thief, Bright Eyes) and mutated from scene sweethearts to upcomers on the national indie music stage.
In 2023, the band released their follow-up album, "Girl with Fish," expanding their sound galaxy-wide with shoegaze sound walls and distorted freak-outs anchored with irresistible melodies. It made many “best of 2023” album lists, and was supported by a three-week U.S tour.
After a brief hiatus and the departure of Walchonski from the band, feeble little horse are back in action with last year’s single “This Is Real,” a blast of noisy indie refreshment that even verges on nu-metal at points. It’s as unpredictable as the band themselves, and the perfect way to prep for their first ever appearance at Sled Island.
