On "Pocket," feeble little horse Shine Once More

With the release of their sophomore album on the near horizon, Pittsburgh quartet feeble little horse return again with “Pocket,” a gravitational tune that will swallow you up quick. Despite presenting themselves in all lower case, feeble little horse make music in capital letters. “Pocket” is, in no short terms, a revelation. Through the noise of their industrial, avant leanings comes hints of Adult Mom-style dream pop and even glints of synths that wouldn’t feel out of place in a techno world. Vocalist Lydia Slocum gives a career-defining performance, and, as she cascades into a full-throated scream during the breakdown, the band has never sounded more mythical.

“Pocket” follows previous singles “Tin Man” and “Steamroller.”

Slocum says of “Pocket”: “For me ‘Pocket’ was a song about being single and not knowing what to do with myself. I got in the habit of showing someone affection and I liked it but then that ended and I just had all these kisses and hugs burning a hole in my pocket! I felt locked out often and like I was just stuck haunted by my old love and it felt like a dead man that wouldn’t leave me alone because the thoughts of it were so intrusive and repetitive.”
