Brown Horse

Brown Horse are excited to announce their second album,
‘All The Right Weaknesses’ , out April 4th 2025 on Loose Music. The group returned to Sickroom Studios in Norfolk following a multi-month European tour. Road tested and road worn, the band tracked these eleven songs in a whirlwind week of live takes.

Building on the stark twang of their debut album,
‘Reservoir’ (9/10 Uncut, ★★★★ The Times, ★★★★ Mojo),
‘All The Right Weaknesses’ sees an energised Brown Horse meld slacker-rock, folk, and alt-country – equal parts Lucinda Williams, Jason Molina, The Breeders and Silver Jews. Weary, wry and disarmingly honest, these songs flash a smile at the dark and strange. With contributions from the band’s multiple songwriters, the record is a patchwork far greater than the sum of its parts.

Corduroy Couch is the first single from the album, songwriter Nyle Holihan comments “the song draws from a couple sources, the most literal being my memory as a young teenager in the attic listening to worn out Talking Heads and R.E.M. tapes on my parents’ big old beige sofa. Hopefully some of the angular fuzziness of those albums carries through. I also took a lot of inspiration from the great short stories in Joy Williams’ ‘The Visiting
Privilege’. She writes with amazing precision and communicates mood and atmosphere incredibly visually despite the sparseness of her prose. I tried to emulate a little of that in the verses.”  https://brownhorse.bandcamp.com/album/reservoir
