Super Wild Horses - Fifteen


Often the only means of escaping the unavoidable ‘girl band’ label is to play excellent music. Super wild horses have managed to break free from this lazy gender pigeonholing and craft a distinctive blend of garage pop which sets them apart from your standard basement based bands. Its minimalistic, low fidelity production gives it a certain analogue warmth, and the anthemic garage grunge is laden with sweet harmonized duets which clash brilliantly with the frayed guitar stabs. Songs rarely exceed one or two minutes, and this brevity suits their simple and catchy riffs superbly. From this moment on, the Super Wild Horses will be known as a garage pop band, not a garage pop girl band.
