Staff Picks: Horse Jumper of Love - Natural Part
For fans of: Nu Slowcore
What they're saying: Here is Paste Magazine’s Samantha Sullivan on the record: “Horse Jumper lean into the haze with fuzzy guitars and slow-burn build-ups that mirror the strange beginning phase of a memory returning to you… At its core, Natural Part is a musing on the mundane, and an examination of what sticks with us and why.” Dillon Riley at Flood had this praise for Natural Part: “Horse Jumper of Love manage to set themselves apart from their contemporaries through sheer force of personality. Few songwriters are as concise with their pen when tackling big feelings like Giannopoulos, and fewer still are backed by such distinct players as Vadala-Doran and Margaris.” And here is Jordan Darville at Fader on the group’s growth: “Natural Part, the third Horse Jumper of Love album, contains some of the most memorable songwriting they’ve ever done”
What we say: A new one from some of my faves - this time Horse Jumper is up to something a bit softer but still every bit as interesting as their previous records. - K
