I can’t describe the mysterious and eerie music of Texas’ Georgia’s Horse any better than the flowing language of their bio:

Texas is a graveyard and The Lone Star State is full of ghosts. Once the home of many thousands of military personnel, old bases now stand empty. The only tenants are lizards and snakes. Even the rusted and rotted hulks of planes have been carted off by junk men and souvenir hunters. The roar of the war effort has been replaced by the whisper of the wind. A gentle absence of action. The haunted Americana of Georgia’s Horse sounds like it could have come from any of these ghostly deserts.

The band’s debut record The Mammoth Sessions is out June 9. “Bloom” has all the trappings of a somewhat typical americana song but Teresa Maldonado’s ghostly voice and the reverb soaked music set it apart from more standard fare. More info via their European label Fire Records here.

I heard about this at the time and thought it sounded hectic/impossible. Joe Pug did 6 shows in 6 hours in homes throughout Chicago. Turns out a film crew followed him around and produced a short film. It’s a great way to sample his music (including some new songs/sounds) and get excited about his two upcoming shows at Schubas on May 1 and 2.
