“Gee, That Ain’t Swell”,
a cheekily monikered debut if ever there was one, indeed Palehorse
were possibly so underground during the time of the band’s debut release in
2003, the fact that 16 years later the band are calling it a day, is perhaps
testament to that statement. But all joking aside, a band whose debut could be
construed as a modern British masterpiece, all the while with a comparatively avante
garde approach with two basses ringing distorted noise through a filter of
depressive and maniacally savage vocals, Palehorse have remained
at the cutting edge of the underground heavy scene. Quite simply they have always been the
one, but not Metallica
So
as we approach something resembling the summer here in the UK, Palehorse are set to issue what will most likely be their
epitaph, with new album “Looking Wet in
Public” via Truthseeker Music.
Having
recently undertaken a co-headline tour of the UK with Ghold
throughout the early part of May and finishing up in Leeds, Palehorse will perform their final ever appearance
and farewell show, at the prestigious Temples Festival in
Bristol on 5th June. As their press
release for their new album attests too, Palehorse are about to
leave listeners with the uncomfortable sense that something inevitable and horrifying
is going to happen, indeed this will be the only time, you’re gonna be happy about
“Looking Wet in Public”.
With
a little over a month to go before the new album drops, today at The Sludgelord in
partnership with the good folks at Truthseeker Music, we can officially debut an
exclusive stream of a brand new tune entitled “Terrifying Japanese Coldplay Documentary”. You have been warned, this is sluggish distorted
sludge at its best, so before you check it out, fix yourself a sandwich because you won't want to die on an empty stomach.
“Looking
Wet in Public” has a street date of July 1st and is available as
a download and limited vinyl. It can
preordered here now, so what are you waiting for. A full track listing and artwork can be found
