The Healing Power of Horses
Attic-made art pop with brittle beats and blown-out dream textures
Based in Cambridge, United Kingdom
The duo set clipped, thumping rhythms against distorted guitar and synth haze, with intimate vocals drifting through the mix like fragments of conversation. Songs pivot between lurching impact and weightless melody, making this likely to be a compact live set of unstable dynamics rather than polished indie pop.
More about The Healing Power of Horses
The Healing Power of Horses emerged from home recording in Cambridge, first issuing a five-song tape through No Soap before signing to Los Angeles imprint section1. Their 2026 EP Summer Indoors (or outside wearing black) connects the East Anglian duo to section1's skewed-pop circle around acts including RIP Magic and Blonde Redhead.
A story
Their earlier five-song tape was written and recorded in living rooms and bedrooms.
