HORSE THE BAND’S DESPERATE LIVING – EXCLUSIVE FULL ALBUM STREAM

horse the band - desperate living

[We fixed the player issue we were having earlier. Sorry! All better now. -Ed.]

Like we said yesterday, Desperate Living — the new album from Horse the Band which comes out on October 6th — shows a new, more nuanced side to the band. The album is really good; listening to it this morning in its entirety for the first time I was really quite impressed, and it’s definitely my favorite offering of theirs to date. It’s more complex, proggy and headier than anything they’ve done prior, no small accomplishment for a band as completely fucknuts as these guys are. Now you can stream the whole new album below, exclusively on MetalSucks.

Afterwards, check out the video for “Shapeshift” and pre-order the record with an autographed CD insert for only $11.99 at Newbury Comics. HtB have a ridiculous amount of tour dates booked both Stateside and across the globe through the end of 2009; check out the band’s MySpace page for a full list.

    Goddamn, I’m impressed. R. Borlax has always been my favorite album of theirs, and although everything else is good they seemed to be going (very) slightly downhill. This turns it all around. That insane DIY world tour must have given them a lot to write about. I like it much more than A Natural Death, it’s way more focused and their songwriting has really improved. These guys can do no wrong, I’ll be sure to check them out on their tour, seeing as they’re also one of the best live bands around right now.

    I’m so pumped about Jamie Stewart doing a song with HTB.

  • Facebook User

    heard it twice. awesome. not as good as “a natural death”, but solid. i will always mourn the parting of Chris Prophet.

    • Nifkin

      Ok whatever, this is WAY better than a Natural Death. Most HTB fans would agree.

  • Brendan

    I really, sincerely, wholeheartedly enjoy the fucking hell out this record.

    Will be buying this weekend.
