la HORSE serenade with ‘HAD ME AT GOODBYE’ single

A first love or crush is enough to melt the heart, but a first goodbye will make it shatter into pieces. la HORSE - a London group with infinite potential, melding psych and classical songwriting for fun - know a thing or two about the latter.

On ‘HAD ME AT GOODBYE’, they capture the experience of falling for someone before seeing everything disappear in a flash. “I’m holding out for better days,” they sing romantically in woozy opening verses. What follows is a cataclysmic rush, a vibrant and energised drop back down to reality. Flaming Lips-nodding riffs shake the system, the song morphing from gentle offering to all-out juggernaut. La HORSE pendulum-swing between emotions, doing perfect justice to love and despair with every move.

The new song follows on from ‘Nothing From The Monkey Is Free’, an outlandish introduction to a group intent on translating outlandish ideas to gigantic pop songs.

Tonight (15th June) they support Fufanu at London Birthdays. DIY is premiering the new track below.
