Tapestry Promotions are proud to present:Sugar Horse
Freeze frame, camera zooms in and it’s Bristol: land of graffiti stencils, gut rot cider and boys who think “trip-hop”
was a moral movement. Four “people” decided music hadn’t yet been punished enough. Thus, in 2015, Sugar
Horse was born—and what a harrowing birth it was.
They’ve been busy. Like, dangerously busy. The sort of prolific that suggests either artistic brilliance or a manic
episode. At least one EP, album, or single per year since 2018. A level of output only ever seen from harsh noise
loners and The Fall. Inconveniently, Sugar Horse are actually good. Or at least interesting. Which, in the UK, is
basically heresy.
Their first album, The Live Long After (2021, Small Pond Records), arrived like fireworks in a vicarage. It was
beautiful, deafening and deeply confusing to anyone still nostalgic for Britpop. Then came the collaborations:
Pupil Slicer, Conjurer, IDLES, Mike Vennart (Oceansize, Biffy Clyro, Empire State Bastard), LLNN, Black
Peaks, Nuala Honan, and wych elm—a roll call of every UK band that refuses to sit politely in a genre. Sugar
Horse, naturally, built them a cage, filled it with petrol, and burnt the bastard down.
2024 second album The Grand Scheme of Things arrived via Pelagic Records. A record so sprawling and
self-aware it might as well have come with a footnote explaining that it was supposed to make you
uncomfortable. Some called it ambitious; others called it pretentious. Both were right. The sacred and the
profane. It annoyed and delighted in equal measure, but was never—repeat, NEVER—boring.
Because a band like Sugar Horse aren't here to please. They’re here to exist, loudly, until the rest of the UK
collapses under the weight of their own cowardice.
