Lean Horse Marathon: "Drowning Sun"

New stuff from local project Lean Horse Marathon is coming our way. The new album, Up on Bomber Mountain, is set to be released as a free download.

Dropping via Rack and Ruin, look for the full length sometime next month. Rack and Ruin is an interesting non-profit record label based in the Netherlands, and has a bunch of other artists worth your while.

As for Baltimore's Lean Horse Marathon, the first taste off the new LP is below. A perfect accompaniment for the hazy early days of summer, this jam bubbles along with plenty of warm fuzz that's sure to lift spirits. Click below to stream "Drowning Sun", and check back for more deets on this one.

Lean Horse Marathon
















New Baltimore music from up North, Lean Horse Marathon is a healthy dose of lo-fidelity noise folk. LP1 EP is the debut album from this new solo artist, and you can stream it here exclusively in its entirety below.

Hums, crashes and echoes of all varieties are rocked, but always tearing back to that noisey dream pop sound which one can't resist. The EP as a whole sounds like if Elliott Smith and Bradford Cox had joined the Microphones to record, and Panda Bear's laptop treatment got involved somewhere in the process. Not to mention, Skinny Pony Race clearly has a ton of influences locally.

Internationally, Lean Horse Marathon just got signed to Netherlands label Rack and Ruin, who will be releasing the EP online. Stream the whole thing below, and look for another album in the coming months.
