With Horses, the eagerly awaited sequel to their critically acclaimed debut record, Tobacco City invites listeners to tumble headlong into the golden haze of youth. In this place, time stretches endlessly, and the future feels as distant as the stars.
Each lyric vividly portrays small-town life: the taste of cream from a gas station cooler shared with your first love, the smoky camaraderie of sneaking schwag behind the grocery store. These snapshots capture the reckless wonder of a time when dreams had no deadlines and possibilities felt boundless.
Musically, Horses gallops through the rich terrain of ’70s country, channeling the soulful echoes of legends like Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris. Yet, beneath its timeless, sun-soaked melodies lies a modern pulse, weaving the sweetness of youthful innocence with the bittersweet truths of adulthood.
The result is a fresh, contemporary twist on classic country—a sound rooted in tradition and vibrantly alive in the present.
This sophomore effort solidifies the band’s status as torchbearers of a new wave of cosmic Americana. Following the widespread acclaim of Tobacco City, USA, Horses not only meets but surpasses expectations.
The record – to be released on March 7th – is a heartfelt time machine, blending nostalgia, raw emotion, and an undeniable authenticity that speaks to every generation. Get those pre-orders in now, folks – I’m looking forward to this one.
