'Fanfare For Effective Freedom' might be one of the most beguiling things we've heard in quite some time. Opening the scoring on this very impressive outing from Horse Lords, it's a staccato but somehow smooth ode to the beauty of plucked guitars and layered arrangements, acting as a magnificent gateway to what follows. To call this psychedelic would be misleading, it's more likely to fit in with people's ideas of progressive rock combined with a kind of loose indie, but then none of these really hit nails on heads either. Repetitive loops bring about a feeling of hypnosis, tracks like 'People's Park' gathering elements as they move, creating the kind of build usually reserved for electronic dance music. A truly special five-tracker from a band you'd do well to make further investigations into.
