Bleep

Horse Lords and Arnold Dreyblatt didn’t realise their music was already in communication with each other’s, and that’s the magic of RVNG Intl.’s innovative FRKWYS collaboration series. Having both released albums on Northern Spy (where Dreyblatt engaged in a similar conjunction with Megafaun), they didn’t find their ways to each other until 2021 when Extended Field began to germinate: staggering leftfield grooves that scratch the brain folds just right, swooping arrangements of guitar and saxophone drifting from harmonic pathways to caustic rock out territory. The almost hyperventilating strings of ‘Advance’ shift fluidly and change timbre beside prickly glittery plucks, activated by staccato bass strums allowing drums to scrabble in.
