Brown Horse announce their second studio album, All The Right Weaknesses

"The song draws from acouple sources, the most literal being my memory as a young teenager in the attic listening to worn out Talking Heads and R.E.M. tapes on my parents’ big old beige sofa. Hopefully some of the angular fuzziness of those albums carries through," says songwriter Nyle Holihan. "I also took a lot of inspiration from the great short stories in Joy Williams’ ‘The Visiting Privilege’. She writes with amazing precision and communicates mood and atmosphere incredibly visually despite the sparseness of her prose. I tried to emulate a little of that in the verses."

“We’d been on the road in Europe for over two months by the time we arrived at the studio to start recording. We were pretty much constantly together, spending hours in the van listening to the same music, exploring unfamiliar places and playing shows almost every night. That was sort of the creative justification for playing so many dates ahead of recording, to find that level of coherence," the band says of the forthcoming album.

"We didn’t need to pay for rehearsal space - we rotated new songs in the setlist and learned them on our rare days off. We’d slept on floors and in construction sites, caught midnight ferries, driven a Ford Transit past incredible Norwegian fjords and been towed from a snowbank in the middle of nowhere by a man in shorts and flip flops. It was pretty cool to be that tuned into each other, and have that shared experience going into recording an album.”
