With\u003cbr\u003edistortion levels cranked up, tempoes sped\u003cbr\u003eup and songs condensed and stripped down\u003cbr\u003eto the bare, ugly essentials, Empty Body\u003cbr\u003ecomes as a brutal wake-up call within the\u003cbr\u003erampant covid-19 fatigue, and an\u003cbr\u003eunexpected surprise in almost every regard.\u003cbr\u003e„We've always been both a heavy and a\u003cbr\u003equiet band. An entire album of our prettier,\u003cbr\u003emore bittersweet inclinations demands a\u003cbr\u003ereply of our most aggressive and confrontational.\u003cbr\u003eThe pendulum must swing back the other way“, comments multi-instrumentalist Callum Gay.\u003cbr\u003eImagine: if band members can rotate between instrument positions within the band, because every\u003cbr\u003eband member can play every instrument, then this must imply a seldom degree of freedom and\u003cbr\u003emutual musical understanding... something that most bands could only dream of. SPOOK THE\u003cbr\u003eHORSES are such a band. Maybe this multi-instrumentalism and virtuosity also explains the vast\u003cbr\u003emusical territory that is explored between the band's 4 albums: while 2011's debut album Brighter\u003cbr\u003ewas defined by sweet post-rock crescendos, 2015's Rainmaker was a much heavier affair. People\u003cbr\u003eUsed To Live Here“ (2017) created an atmosphere of quiet desolation, raw and real, desperate and\u003cbr\u003eunsettling: the post-apocalyptic soundtrack to abandoned places, where people used to live, at one\u003cbr\u003epoint in time, long ago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53416559247703,"sku":"P-96991-","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Spook-The-Horses-Empty-Body-CD-96991-1-1592810889.jpg?v=1778068106","url":"https:\/\/shop.season-of-mist.com\/products\/spook-the-horses-empty-body-cd","provider":"Season of Mist - International","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
