Our Take

In a music landscape cluttered with auto-tuned pop princesses and forgettable indie bands, Amy Speace emerges like a breath of fresh air with her latest album "There Used To Be Horses Here." Combining honest storytelling with intricate melodies, Speace takes listeners on a journey through heartbreak, hope, and everything in between.

From the haunting opening track "Father's Day" to the bittersweet "Ginger Ale," Speace's vocals soar with emotion, drawing you in from the first note. Her lyrics are poignant and relatable, touching on themes of love, loss, and resilience. Each song feels like a diary entry set to music, allowing listeners to connect on a deep, emotional level.

The production on "There Used To Be Horses Here" is top-notch, with lush arrangements that complement Speace's vocals perfectly. The instrumentation is varied and dynamic, keeping the listener engaged from start to finish. From the twangy guitars to the haunting strings, each element adds layers of depth to the album.

Overall, Amy Speace's "There Used To Be Horses Here" is a triumph in storytelling and musicality. It's a breath of fresh air in a music industry filled with cookie-cutter pop and soulless production. Speace's raw talent and emotional depth shine through on every track, making this album a must-listen for fans of authentic, heartfelt music. Pitchfork rating: 8.5/10.
