Concert by the electronic music band feeble little horse, presenting their album 'bitknot', with support from Touching Ice.
feeble little horse play Mohawk Austin on Tuesday, July 21, with Los Angeles-based artist Touching Ice opening. The Pittsburgh band is touring their third full-length LP, bitknot, which they wrote, arranged, produced, and recorded across their own homes in Pittsburgh.
That home-recorded approach is a good way to get a sense of how the record came together. The three members—Sebastian Kinsler, Lydia Slocum, and Jake Kelley—handled every step of the process themselves, from the initial writing and arranging through to the final production and recording. The result is a guitar-driven sound that blends digital and organic elements, with Kinsler's intricate arrangements, Slocum's introspective lyrics, and Kelley's drumming at its core.
Conceptually, the album looks at the space between human nature and a culture of convenience, something the band describes as a synthesis of dirt and digital. They draw on the 'core memory matrix' used in early computing to store data via 0s and 1s as a framework for the record. It's a specific, technical starting point that they pull into a songwriting style built around the guitar.
