Description
Music For Horses is a bit of a return to Graham's 2020 record Turnin's sensibilities - He had written those songs over a year and recorded them all to tape within a month and took a similar approach with these songs - Graham had a plan to record a handful of songs at his parents' cabin over the New Year holiday at the start of 2023 but his TEAC 2340 recorder had other ideas - "This tape machine was saying write, don't record" - and that was a good tip - Sometimes I'm hasty with that red button and don't have songs fully shaped before the tape is rolling.
I still let that happen musically and I let the moment and the machine be the producer but lyrically, the songs on Music For Horses feel complete and really personal. Which is why I like to think it's for horses because I didn't want to be aspiring to anyone else's standard or taste but my own... so if people don't like it, it's a win-win because they get to say it's not for them and I get to say I told you so." Christo plays acoustic and electric guitar, keys, bass, and drums as well as the musical saw, the bass recorder, and the cello on the songs with a few friends lending their talents to harmonies and additional instruments.
