Horse Lords Share “Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive!”

“Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive!” is the final offering from Horse Lords’ D2BT2HA! before the album spirals into our realm this Friday, June 12.

“Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive!” is an ecstatic injection; alto saxophone, voices, guitar, and electronics glinting and gleaming off of a robust, stone-skipping backbeat. The tune’s raw materials stem from the band’s work with Arnold Dreyblatt, though it has its own bright, accretive minimalism thanks to FM synthesis. Teeming with synthesized ricochets and staggered swing, there’s an economy to Horse Lords’ compositional approach and assured delivery that makes their complex systems genuinely life affirming.

The single arrives alongside a vibrant video created by Dan Conrad and edited by Will Schorre, featuring colored lights arranged in shifting, hypnotizing patterns.

Horse Lords’ Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! will be released this Friday, June 12 in vinyl, CD, and digital editions.
