AN HORSE

An Horse is Kate Cooper + Damon Cox. New album Modern Air out now. anhorse.com

[anhorse]

This year marks the 10th Anniversary of our second album Walls.

While cleaning out an old hard drive recently, we found 3 songs from the Walls recording sessions that we'd completely forgotten about. These outtakes didn't make it onto the record for whatever reason, but listening to them all these years later, they would have been right at home there.

So here they are, pay what you want here >

Hope you like them.

Produced and mixed by Howard Redekopp in Vancouver BC at Armoury Studios and The Menagerie.

Hi Everyone, 

We hope you're staying safe and sane through all this. To support musicians during the Covid-19 pandemic, the legends at Bandcamp are waiving their revenue share on all sales today, Friday, March 20, until midnight PST. 

We’ve added a bunch of merch to our Bandcamp page (as well as all our existing music). 

anhorse.bandcamp.com 

Thank you so much to the people who have made a purchase already this week! It makes a difference and means a lot in a very uncertain time for touring bands. So, Friday is the perfect day to show your much needed support for us and all your favourite independent bands. 

Also, our label Lame-O Records is working on a special compilation of rarities and covers from all Lame-O artists, including An Horse. Keep an eye out for that in the coming weeks! 

Stay safe, wash your hands, practice social distancing, and be good to each other. Xo

We are finally heading home for shows! And we’re taking Moody Beaches and Kelso (Kelly from Camp Cope) along for the ride.

Started A Fire Music Video Premiere

Head over to Talkhouse.com to watch our new video for 'Started A Fire' and read an essay from Kate about the song. "On the night of the last US Presidential election, when things were starting to feel uncomfortable, I went to bed. It was the only thing I could do to cope. I thought I would wake up and it would have been close but we would all be okay. Women, POC, LGBTQI and other underrepresented groups — we’d be fine..." Read more and watch the music video HERE.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have to cancel our Northeast US shows that were scheduled for this week. We’re very sorry and hope to make it up to you. Ticket holders will be able to get a refund at point of purchase.

Hey all,

It's been a minute. But, we have been busy and I hate spending any more time than I have to in front of screens. Us not posting too many updates, is us looking out for you (and me). I promise. SO next week we head out on a little North America run with Saves The Day and our ol' mate Kevin Devine. I mean, that's a pretty nice line up (if I do say so myself). We are playing here:

THU 1 NOV Louisville KY – Headliners Music Hall FRI 2 NOV Chicago IL – Bottom Lounge SAT 3 NOV Newport KY – The Southgate House Revival SUN 4 NOV Detroit MI – Magic Stick TUE 6 NOV Toronto ON – The Opera House WED 7 NOV Cleveland OH – The Grog Shop FRI 9 NOV Millvale PA – Mr Smalls Theatre SAT 10 NOV Asbury Park NJ – The Stone Pony SUN 11 NOV Philadelphia PA – Theatre of Living Arts MON 12 NOV Boston MA – Paradise Rock Club WED 14 NOV Brooklyn NY – Warsaw THU 15 NOV Baltimore MD – Rams Head Live FRI 16TH NOV Richmond VA – The Broadberry SAT 17TH NOV Durham NC – Motorco Music Hall SUN 18 NOV Nashville TN – Mercy Lounge TUE 20 NOV Orlando FL – The Social

Tickets HERE >

We will have some new merchandise items for sale at these shows and in the webstore including long sleeved tees for the Autumn/Fall. We are pretty heavily involved in the merch design aspect of things so if you think it's weird, I am happy.

And since the last time we wrote to you, we made a new record. No big deal. We are still working on mixes. We have a couple more songs to tweak and it's DONE. You will hear more about it soon enough but we did want to let you know IT EXISTS....and we are beyond stoked with it. Which in itself is a very big deal because we are own worse critics etc. Let's just say, we took our time and at times I doubted it would ever happen. What we wanted was to work with the legendary Mike Sapone. We held out stubbornly and I am so glad we did. Sapone is a sonic genius. Gonna leave that there. You can hear the results soon enough and you can judge for yourself. OH and it will be out some time early next year. More on that and some other exciting news soon!

What else? Hmm not much. I dunno. Politics are a real bummer these days. I am a proud Australian who has to vote. I am a huge fan of compulsory voting. It means everyone has to be engaged (even if you want to cast a donkey vote). I admit, we have it good down there. We get a sausage on a piece of white bread handed to us when we vote. If you are lucky it has onions. And yes there usually are vege sausages (at least in my electorate). If other countries (*cough cough* the US) offered a snack that was specific to their national cuisine more people would vote. I am not alone in thinking this.

I guess the long and short of it is, ya just gotta vote. Old people seem to be running all the countries. ALL OF THEM. And they are largely very out of touch with you and what you want. AND they don't want you to vote. That's exactly why you should.

Other than that, if you want to bring us coffee on tour, we will drink it! And love you more.

Hopefully we will see you out there!!!!
