Avant-garde Baltimore band Horse Lords have released “Bending To The Lash,” a song off their upcoming album Interventions. The song is a mind-bending whirlwind of altered instruments that travels between treads of perplexing polyrhythms. “Bending To The Lash” begins with bouncing, consistent drums and bass juxtaposed with a guitar that seems to have a mind of its own, creating a danceable rhythm that engulfs the track in its hypnotism. Eventually, a saxophone lends the song an unconventional, jazzy flare. It crescendos into an explosive moment that leads into an even funkier beat made up of a variety of unique honks, beeps, and dings. While “Bending To The Lash” is just one song, it feels like a dynamic experimental art project within itself. Listen below.
