Looking back at As It Happened: Horse Lords Live

“Certain elements are indeterminate and left to the whims of individual band members, which lends a sort of tension to the live experience—the possibility of failure/victory over death.”

Horse Lords adopted a sort of non-documentary approach, aiming to capture their own performances as much as the artifice of the live experience itself. The resulting record, As It Happened: Horse Lords Live, released on RVNG March 1, 2024, is a blistering snapshot of the band riding that elusive line.
