feeble little horse share “This Is Real,” the first new music from the Pittsburgh noise-pop group since the release of their acclaimed 2023 album, Girl With Fish. The track continues the band’s exploration of making thrilling and wildly unpredictable music. Is this the future of feeble little horse, or just an explosive culmination of a past fit to burst?
“I think it's important that this song is released to turn the page, but also to enjoy the product of sitting with something for a record breaking amount of time for us as a band,” says Lydia Slocum. “We wrote our past 2 albums with this indescribable urgency, and I think 'This Is Real' happened while the burner was turned to low if that makes sense. I wouldn't say this track can function as a prophecy for what our sound will become for the next album, but it's become something no other song will ever quite compare to. I seriously grew so much as a person from the beginning to end of the writing process, since the song started when we had to cancel our tour and finally finished just a few weeks ago. I hope this track can function as a time capsule for our fans the same way it has for us.” Drummer Jake Kelly adds “To me, the track is an album’s worth of ideas squished into three minutes, it’s the best out of all four of us so far.”
