Daily Dose: An Horse, “This is a Song”
Photo by Amelia ShawDaily Dose is your daily source for the song you absolutely, positively need to hear every day. Curated by the Paste Music Team.
An Horse have released the anthemic new single “This is a Song,” off their forthcoming album Modern Air, out May 3 from Lame-O Records.
The new track from the heavy-hitting indie-rock duo embraces the solidarity of underrepresentation and misrepresentation while delivering a sharp undercut to the perpetuators of such disparities.
Modern Air will mark the first new album from the Australian duo in eight years, their last being 2011’s Walls, while “This is a Song” follows last year’s release of “Get Out Somehow.”
Take on your week, and beyond, with the “This is a Song” video (dir. Jarod Evans) below, plus a 2009 An Horse performance from the Paste archives, and see the details of An Horse’s forthcoming album and tour further down.
