Gift Horse – my new project with Matthew Hord (Pop. 1280, Fine Place, Running) – has released our debut album Cultural Payout. Written & recorded across 2022 at Studio Windows, the album dives deep into leftfield beats and hardware electronics across the span of six sprawling songs. Electronica.org describes it as “an enigmatic journey through hallucinatory landscapes”, and Brooklyn Vegan writes the songs mix “rolling hip hop beats with Morricone-esque cinematic vistas”. I’ve know Matthew for around 15 years, our bands have shared bills together many times, and I’ve produced records for multiple projects he’s been in, but this is the first time we’ve made music together. Like many of my favorite records, this one was made without preconceptions and simply for the sake of playing music together. Our record release show will be October 6 at Union Pool, with James K and Auscultation (aka Golden Donna). Cultural Payout is out now via Husky Pants Records (Ryley Walker) – stream & purchase a copy of the cassette at Bandcamp.

Gift Horse is a new project between me and Matthew Hord (Pop 1280, Running, Fine Place, Brandy), and we’ve released our first single “Devised Program”. After opening for Bitchin’ Bajas last year, we finished our debut record Cultural Payout. The album came from electronic hardware jam sessions at Studio Windows, which we then shaped & refined before I mixed & mastered it earlier this year. We have two shows next week with Chicago’s Mute Duo (American Dreams) – 7/12 at Tubby’s in Kingston and 7/13 at The P.I.T. in Brooklyn. Cultural Payout is out September 1 on cassette and digital via Ryley Walker’s label Husky Pants.
