Swirling, textural landscapes meld with the fizzing momentum of an otherworldly melody in the video for I Break Horses‘ ‘Hearts’.
A band we first wrote up back in July of 2010, prior to their Bella Union signing a few months later, the musical nucleus of I Break Horses is Stockholm based Maria Lindén. Working with musical partner Fredrick Balck, Lindén welds visionary sound-scapes into songs that hijack the synapses and connect with something in a way that’s as emotional as it is physical.
Alex Southam – who’s also made videos for I Break Horses’ labelmates Thousands - has crafted a visual accompaniement to ‘Hearts’ that finds the link between the visceral, synthetic process of music creation and the ever-unwinding, unstoppable force of nature’s progress.
