Horse Lords

Horse Lords is the collective moniker of Andrew Bernstein, Max Eilbacher, Owen Gardner and Sam Haberman. Loosely formed as a joke band to cover krautrock legends Can, the Baltimore quartet has quickly established itself as a pioneering force in the American DIY scene. Coupling the otherworldly harmonies of Gardner’s hand-modified and re-fretted guitars, with the double-drumming of Bernstein and Haberman, the band constructs layers of punching, syncopated phrases that call upon elements of krautrock, African polyrhythms, and classical minimalism. The result is a sound that is at once stark and lush, tightly interwoven and threatening to fly apart, making their hypnotic recordings and visceral live performances thrilling affairs.
