Horse Jumper of Love / Flooding / Memory Card

Doors: 8PM / Show: 9PM / 21+ Horse Jumper of Love thrive on patient and uncompromising songs. Thanks to frontman Dimitri Giannopoulos evocative lyrics and arrangements that suddenly turn from delicate to blistering, their music is full of intensity. While the Boston trio, which also includes bassist John Margaris and drummer James Doran, has stretched the fringes of indie, their latest is their most immediate yet. Out August 16 via Run For Cover Records, Disaster Trick tackles self-destructiveness with healing and heart.Where Horse Jumper of Loves last release 2023s Heartbreak Rules excelled with quiet, bare-bones songwriting, Disaster Trick cranks up the volume while keeping the no-frills intimacy of the bands catalog. Recorded at Asheville, North Carolinas Drop of Sun Studios with producer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Indigo De Souza), the recordings soar with searing guitars and an unshakeable rhythm section. I tried the quiet thing on the last album and I realized theres definitely two parts of me: I like really heavy music, and I like really gentle music, says Giannopoulos. The two albums I listened to the most while we were in the studio were Leonard Cohens Songs From a Room and Hums Downward is Heavenward. This contrast between quiet and loud exists throughout Disaster Trick but its animated by stark emotion and straightforward, timeless songwriting.
