Horse Vision
Stockholm duo folding early emo and sound design into guitar pop
Based in Stockholm, Sweden
Horse Vision pair drop-D guitar riffs and acoustic fingerpicking with clipped drum loops, bleached synths, samples and softly treated vocals. Their live setup expands the duo into a rock-trio format of guitar, bass and drums, keeping the songs direct while exposing the digital seams.
More about Horse Vision
Johan Nilsson and Gabriel von Essen emerged from Stockholm's overlap of indie songwriting, sound design and the loose international scene nicknamed cloud rock. They founded inadvertent.index for their debut album Another Life, then signed to London's Scenic Route in October 2026.
