Horse Lords Live in Manchester

Horse Lords, the American experimental rock band from Baltimore, bring their hypnotic blend of krautrock, post-punk, and African musical traditions to Manchester. Known for their use of just intonation and hand-modified guitars with repositioned frets, the quartet—Andrew Bernstein, Max Eilbacher, Owen Gardner, and Sam Haberman—creates a live experience that is both focused and hypnotic, shivering with energy.

Attendees can expect a daring and energetic set that borrows from Mauritanian guitar music, free jazz, and classical minimalism. The band's music feels very live, with switchbacking studies in rhythm and drone that have drawn praise from critics for their newfound clarity and fullness. This is a rare opportunity to witness a band that has toured with Matmos and Guerilla Toss, and played festivals like Hopscotch and North by Northeast.
