This group combines madcap menace and big top
bombast to craft tilt-a-whirl, carnivalesque pop.
Though compared to sonic pioneers like Pere Ubu,
Captain Beefheart, and Sun Ra, The Vancouver,
British Columbia band eludes simple
characterization. While "Pick Up Sticks" boasts
the Horses' signature cacophony of jittery
guitars, swirling keyboards, and clattering horns,
it also finds the band exploring ever-shifting
rhythms and expansive atmospherics. Transfixing
transmissions that could have been either beamed
from outer space or unearthed in a time capsule
from a lost age. "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
sound like post-punks raised under a big top,
albeit one under the direction of Igor Stravinsky
or Sun Ra rather than P.T. Barnum" - Boston
Phoenix.
