Concert: A Horse Jumper of Love At Baby’s
A lot of artists sing about depression, but not many can take you to the slow, lagging epicenter of this epidemic. Still, when someone talks about depression, they focus on sadness, but there is one secret, vital ingredient to sorrow that gets ignored: boredom. Sometimes, the melancholies do not come because you are down or angry, it’s because you feel bland, and Horse Jumper Of Love played to the despair of languor at Baby’s All Right.
From “Bagel Breath” to “Poison,” Horse Jumper of Love play their songs like they are at a macabre prom. Think Russian Doll meets Elliott Smith. Their melodies drag and then suddenly jolt to embody as if they are trying to revive a soul that is flatlining. The result is a sound that strangely embodies humanity and how the sameness of our days might make us cry more than the differences. For all that someone might say they fear change or wish things could stay as they are, for Horse Jumper of Love, this nostalgia could be a falsehood.
Lyrically, Horse Jumper of Love approach change like the fountain of youth; a refreshing garden of life that never seems to be found, of which lead singer Dimitri fumbles, mumbles, and flows his chopped verses as if to ask the Heavens for a roadmap.What will make love Horse Jumper of Love or hate them is that they feel like organized chaos. You never know when a drumroll might combustibly drops or a guitar chord will string into eternity. They soncially bash time and predictability to, again, oddly represent how depression or disconnection jumps into your life.
“Orange Peeler,”“Ugly Brunette,” and “Volcano” sing to humanity’s soul as if it is a yo-yo running on routine, and Dmitri’s voice knows how to pull it up or pick it down. He has a way of making his voice low and slow like a burner placed on the lowest degree, yet, no matter what, it still spumes fire. He even closes his eyes and presses lips on the mic as if he turning heat from emotional coldness. It is a fascinating dynamic because it challenges how or what we think is entertaining. I have heard a slow track, a sad song, and up-beat jam, but Horse Jumper of Love bring newness to each. For More Information On Horse Jumper of Love Click Here.
