Release Notes:
http://www.myspace.com/anhorse
Rearrange Beds is the debut full length by Australian duo Kate Cooper and Damon
Cox, An Horse.
The songs on Rearrange Beds are tight, catchy ditties. The simple drum, bass,
guitar structure provide the tracks with an edgy, indie pop vibe reminiscent of
the duo's friends Tegan & Sara.
The music interacts well with Cooper's vocals. The obvious Aussie accent coming
through on most songs, gives Cooper's singing a quaint charm which reminds me
instantly of Angie Hart. When Cox joins with harmony vocals, such as on songs
like "Company", the duo truly excels.
Lyrically, the songs are personal without being heavy. There is a balance
between innocence and inner strength that comes through. A song like "Little
Lungs" begins as a hushed reflection. However by the end it has transformed
into a exhilarating release. That feeling is created again with the more
in-your-face defiant rumble of "Scared As Fuck".
At the end of the day, An Horse's greatest achievement is likely their ability
to straddle the line between fun rock songs and angst-ridden tracks, straying
never too far in either direction.
Rearrange Beds is a rock solid introduction to an irresistibly appealing pair.
