feeble little horse - "This is Real"

It feels like it's been a while since we last heard from feeble little horse. The Pittsburgh noise pop group is back with a new single, "This is Real." The new song starts off as a quiet little song that leans heavily into the world of pop. It's a cute little song, and we'd be thrilled to bring it to you even if were just that. And then one of the most whiplash inducing waves of noise comes crashing in harder than you could have imagined. It's at this point that you remember wildly changing the tone and overall sound of the song is kind of these folks' whole thing, and "This is Real" becomes an instant classic. The song swings around a few times, including a brief segment that dives headfirst into screamy metal. Yeah, feeble little horse have been missed.

Lydia Slocum says of her band's new single:

“I think it's important that this song is released to turn the page, but also to enjoy the product of sitting with something for a record​ breaking amount of time for us as a band. We wrote our past 2 albums with this indescribable urgency, and I think ​'This Is Real​' happened while the burner was turned to low if that makes sense. I wouldn't say this track can function as a prophecy for what our sound will become for the next album, but it's become something no other song will ever quite compare to. I seriously grew so much as a person from the beginning to end of the writing process, since the song started when we had to cancel our tour and finally finished just a few weeks ago. I hope this track can function as a time capsule for our fans the same way it has for us.”​
