High Horse

About

High Horse is a duo from Utrecht whose music sits at the intersection of Americana and folk, with a melancholic mood running through everything they do. Their songs are intimate and narrative in character, the kind that make a room go quiet. Alongside their own material they weave in carefully chosen covers, and the whole thing is built around feeling over flash. Their sound draws on artists like Glen Hansard, The Civil Wars, Sara Bettens and Placebo, which gives you a sense of how wide their emotional range actually is, from fragile acoustic tenderness to something with a bit more weight behind it.
