When Horses Would Run by Austin, Texas-based band, Being Dead, plays on classic Americana tropes, looping in lo-fi, surf rock, and plenty of humor. To get a feel of Being Dead’s presence, one should look no further than track 9 of When Horses Would Run, entitled “We Are Being Dead,” which playfully declares that Being Dead is doing nothing but having a good time themselves, and hopes the audience is as well. This project is sweet and earnest, but not without its serious and melancholy lulls.
Texas trio Being Dead shine on debut LP When Horses Would Run, an improbable, weird and relentless amalgam of surf-rock, jazz and punk. Read our review here.
