The infectiously melodic, magically eccentric indie-rockers ELF POWER played a packed in-store on Friday before their full show at THE SPINNING JENNY, and the love was flowing. We thank you.
The opening track “Halloween Out Walking” combines minimal and beautiful folk rock arrangements with otherworldly Moog synthesizer gurglings to awe-inspiring effect. Other highlights include “Watery Shreds”, a piano ballad that transforms itself into an explosive an unexpected distorted guitar drone freakout, sounding like an unlikely marriage of

NEW RELEASES, 7/14: WAXAHATCHEE in the house, TWO new SHABAZZ PALACES albums, LO TOM and some STEPHAN MICUS loveliness for Mr. Gene!
atie Crutchfield, the Alabama-born singer-songwriter behind Waxahatchee, has always tended towards introspection. Over the course of three well received albums, she has traded in the sort of laceratingly honest indie that to the listener feels horribly, yet compellingly intimate. So, the news that album number four is a breakup album, recorded, per the press release,…

The 20th anniversary of RADIOHEAD’s life-changing OK COMPUTER album is upon us, and the band has released an expanded package called OKNOTOK to celebrate.
Each release is newly remastered from the original analog tapes, and will contain the original OK COMPUTER twelve track album, eight B-sides, and the Radiohead completist’s dream: “I Promise,” “Lift,” and “Man Of War.” That’s right, the original studio recordings of these three previously unreleased and long sought after OK COMPUTER era tracks finally receive…

The ragged, roots-rockin’ BANDITOS have returned with a new album, and they played a PACKED release show right here at Horizon last Saturday, right before their RADIO ROOM show that night!
After spending much of the last two years on the road, relentlessly showcasing their critically acclaimed 2015 self-titled debut album, the six bandmates of Banditos regrouped in late 2016 at Plum Creek Sound Studios in Dripping Springs, TX and democratically poured out sonic influences and emotionally charged personal experiences for their new album Visionland. Produced…

NEW RELEASES 7/7: RADIOHEAD, RANDALL BRAMBLETT, THE MELVINS, TORO Y MOI, and some amazing jazz reissues all await!
Over four decades and tens of thousands of road miles after singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Randall Bramblett released his first solo album, disc number 11 shows no sign of the wear and tear that being a professional musician for nearly your entire working life can take on even the sturdiest human. Sure, there was a 12 year solo…

GOV’T MULE returns with some gnarly blues-psych-rock common sense on REVOLUTION COME, REVOLUTION GO.
“It was very poignant that we went into the studio in Austin, Texas, to begin recording on Election Day,” Grammy Award-winning vocalist and guitar legend Warren Haynes recalls of the November 2016 recording sessions. “Like most people, we really had no idea that the election was going to turn out the way it did. That…

JASON ISBELL has released his dazzling new album The Nashville Sound. THE 400 UNIT is back on album the first time since 2011. And we’re ready to celebrate.
“We at Horizon remain super-energized by what Jason Isbell brings, the sound of his crack band, the 400 Unit, and what this all means to the music scene. Hell, he just sold out 5 nights at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in less than two hours! It seems the wider world has discovered (at last) that…

NEW RELEASES 6/30: Our faves LEE BAINS III & THE GLORY FIRES return, as does CODY CHESNUTT, and we’ve got an amazing debut album from JAMES ELKINGTON!
Lee Bains III + The Glory Fires deliver a verbose musical assault flush with punk insurgence and righteous indignation. With the exception of only a small handful of songs (out of 17 overall), Youth Identification surges like a veritable call to arms; a driving, deliberative battle cry that rails against the decay of cultural institutions,…

NEW RELEASES 6/23: Yes we do have the new BANDITOS album, along with a JEFF TWEEDY solo album, and some sheer psychedelic weirdness from KING GIZZARD!
Many bands never get off the ground because they can’t find their “home.” Banditos, as confirmed by their second album Visionland, have no such concerns. For them, home is ‘70s Muscle Shoals country-soul colliding with psychedelia and occult, and stamped by the identifiable quaver of singer Mary Beth Richardson. Banditos’ bread and butter is four-to-the-floor…

NEW RELEASES: JASON ISBELL & THE 400 UNIT have returned, STEVE EARLE embraces his inner outlaw, the FLEET FOXES are somewhat improbably back, and LORDE indulges in some Melodrama.
“Am I the last of my kind?” Jason Isbell ponders on his new album, The Nashville Sound. Isbell, who hails from the Muscle Shoals region of Northwest Alabama, is singing, as he often does, in character, this time a down-and-out survivor struggling to play catch up with the rapidly changing country he calls home.
