Feeble Little Horse - Tin Man
b'
Feeble Little Horse - Tin Man from the 2023 album Girl with Fish on Saddle Creek.
Pittsburgh quartet Feeble Little Horse formed three years ago during the pandemic lull but have exploded since dropping their 2021 debut full-length Hayday. They\\u2019re on the verge of releasing its follow-up, Girl With Fish, via Saddle Creek, a perfect home for their slowcore brand of noise pop. Out June 9th, we\\u2019ve so far gotten three tastes of Girl With Fish, \\u201cSteamroller,\\u201d \\u201cPocket,\\u201d and our Song of the Day \\u201cTin Man.\\u201d
Starting with a mathy guitar line directly inspired by Slint\\u2019s incredible \\u201cBreadcrumb Trail,\\u201d a rush of feedback roars in as frontwoman Lydia Slocum delivers her trademark deadpan vocals about a vapid, emotionless manipulator. \\u201cTook him apart and I found nobody/But when I dent you, I end up bruised.\\u201d
\\u201cThe song is about people who use sadness to control your actions because they know you will sympathize,\\u201d Slocum says of the song. \\u201cOftentimes when these people are investigated there really is not much inside them, they just use emotions to get what they want out of other people. I have my qualms with this sort of person.\\u201d
\\u201c\\u2018Tin Man\\u2019 is one of the songs that represents a new style of writing for us as a group,\\u201d explains guitarist/co-songwriter Ryan Walchoski. \\u201cThis song went back and forth through Google Drive links, trying to come up with the best iteration of the song that we were all happy with; vocals recorded, scrapped and re-recorded, drums scrapped and re-recorded, the chorus at one point was completely different.\\u201d
Feeble Little Horse will be touring the US starting in June, with a date in Seattle on Wednesday, July 5th at Barboza. Watch the video for \\u201cTin Man" and read the full post at KEXP.org.
