I Break Horses’ latest release Warnings, turns out to be just as captivating as their previous two. Full of swirling dynamic loops, ethereal beats, and captivating hooks, the album takes you on a journey through what feels like a multitude of dreamscapes of high-floating wonderment. Playing within synth-laden atmospherics that send you into the late night just as fog rolls in, there’s something to be said about the wash of sound that comes with this album. Okay, that’s a lot of fancy words just to say I really really enjoy the moodiness of this record.
