HoZac Records is proud to announce the
much anticipated debut album by Melbourne duo Super
Wild Horses. It's rare that such a striking balance
between tough and tender can be executed as well as
it has on this long-player, bridging post-punk simplicity
with savagely primitive propulsion, all wrapped up in
a scratchy indie-pop envelope, sealed and delivered
right into your vulnerable skull.
Super Wild Horses are two Melbourne gals who switch
between guitar, drums and keyboard. Formed in 2009,
they play taut, minimal and decidedly garage based pop
music that relies heavily on dual harmonies over sparse
arrangements. Following the release of their one sold-out
EP in 2009, they have played around Australia with the
likes of Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Jon Spencer,
The Drones and My Disco, including a much-talked about
Golden Plains Sunday morning set. In addition to this,
they have garnered an international cult following and
had a song featured on a Bonds TV commercial.
The band's debut album, Fifteen is a heady
concoction of hits, from the softly-crushing, sunny
pop tracks that seduce and mesmerize on contact, to
the impossibly catchy, noise-laden numbers that channel
these ladies' choppy expertise of stripped-down tension
and texture. Recorded by Eddy Current Suppression Ring's
Mikey Young, this breakthrough album perfectly captures
the chunky guitar/drum wallop and ripe vocal melodies.
Truly an original sound in these modern times, which
reflects nuances of alt-pop heroes from Dolly Mixture,
to The Breeders, to later-era Bikini Kill, with all
the hooks in between.
Fifteen is their assured debut full length
album. Twelve songs recorded by Mikey Young of Eddy
Current Suppression Ring which perfectly capture their
chunky guitar/drum wallop and ripe vocal melodies. Don't
miss their maiden US Tour this September, along with
a special appearance at Gonerfest in Memphis, and the
Maximum Freedom Fest in San Francisco.
