AGE RESTRICTION: 18+www.feeblelittlehorse.bandcamp.comfeeble little horse are fiercely independent and scrappy. They credit the formation of the band and their inspiration to a vibrant mid-Atlantic DIY scene in Pittsburgh (Crafted Sounds label, Gaadge, Barlow, and Sleeping Witch & Saturn) and Philadelphia (label Julia’s War, They Are Gutting A Body of Water, and A Country Western). “When we made both Modern Tourism and Hayday, we wanted to join this community of musicians that we so admired,” says Walchonski. “We are still a part of this scene and it’s important for us to continue supporting the bands and friends that got us to this point.” While their latest LP is their most finely crafted collection of songs yet, the band’s process was remarkably accessible and transparent. “I want a kid to hear this album and buy an audio interface and a microphone,” says Kelley. “I want them to think, ‘If they can record in their bedrooms, I can do it myself too.'”
Like the album name, which came from an inside joke the band shared about imagined painting titles at a museum, there’s a sense of humor that’s welcoming and light. The bruising opener “Freak,” for all its pummeling drums and guitar blasts, is a breezy track about an unrequited crush on a college star athlete (Slocum sings, “how can you be satisfied / she’s 5’1 and you’re 6’5”). “I think we just felt more confident on this album,” says Slocum. “We could have felt more pressure and more unsure of ourselves. But we just wanted to try new things, and learn from what people liked about Hayday but not make the same song again.” Girl with Fish is a testament to the power of self-recording, doing it yourself, and taking a leap with the people you are closest with. “Besides our friendship getting stronger and our songs becoming more interesting to us, nothing’s really changed,” says Kinsler. “It’s still us just hanging out: This is what we do instead of playing video games.”
