Our Take

DEAD HORSE ONE's latest album, "The West Is The Best," is like a thrilling rollercoaster ride through a haunted house - spooky, unpredictable, and wildly entertaining. The French band has truly outdone themselves with this release, blending elements of shoegaze, post-punk, and psychedelia into a heady sonic concoction that is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.

From the haunting opening track, "Saudade," to the dreamy, atmospheric soundscape of "Lakeland," DEAD HORSE ONE takes listeners on a mind-bending journey that is as dark as it is fascinating. The band's haunting vocals and swirling guitars create a hypnotic atmosphere that is impossible to resist.

Standout tracks like "I Love My Man," with its irresistible hooks and infectious energy, and the hauntingly beautiful "Come to Me" showcase the band's versatility and skill as songwriters. Each track is a mini-masterpiece, filled with unexpected twists and turns that keep the listener on the edge of their seat.

"The West Is The Best" is a bold and ambitious album that solidifies DEAD HORSE ONE's place as one of the most exciting bands in the indie music scene. With this release, the band proves that they are not afraid to take risks and push the boundaries of their sound, resulting in a truly unforgettable listening experience. Don't miss out on this dark and delicious musical journey – it's a wild ride you won't soon forget.

About the artist

Dead Horse One

Dead Horse One, the enigmatic French shoegaze outfit, has been making waves in the underground music scene since their inception in 2011. With a sound that blends dreamy melodies, swirling guitars, and haunting vocals, Dead Horse One has carved out a unique sonic niche that sets them apart from their contemporaries. Led by frontman Olivier Debard, the band draws inspiration from the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and The Jesus and Mary Chain, crafting a sound that is simultaneously nostalgic and forward-thinking. Their music is a journey through lush landscapes of sound, where noise and melody intertwine in a hypnotic haze. With a discography that includes critically acclaimed albums such as "Without Love We Perish" and "Crushing", Dead Horse One has proven themselves to be a force to be reckoned with in the shoegaze revival. Their live performances are a cathartic experience, as they effortlessly recreate the ethereal beauty of their recordings on stage. Despite their success, Dead Horse One remains humble and grounded, preferring to let their music speak for itself. With a dedicated fanbase and a reputation for putting on mesmerising live shows, it's only a matter of time before Dead Horse One break through to mainstream success. Keep an eye on this band, as they are destined for big things in the world of shoegaze.
