Self-described on their website as a “shimmering booze-soaked grunge gospel/country blues rock band,” Brooklyn’s Mail the Horse truly delivered the goods in today’s studio session. Listen to them play “Best I Can / Shallow Water” off of their latest album “Planet Gates”.
At the band’s core lies true DIY sensibility. They’ve performed tons of eclectic shows nationally, ranging from a NYE bash with The Felice Brothers to a backyard kegger alongside Nashville’s finest local groups.
Their 2015 album Planet Gates, Brooklyn band Mail the Horse in the live setting the songs sound like a happy marriage between The Band, the Rolling Stones circa Exile On Main Street, Gram Parsons, and the Jayhawks. The pedal steel guitar danced around the piano and powerhouse drumming that would make Levon Helm smile, creating a blissfully intoxicated country sound. Each member of the band are so in tune with the others and more than willing to step in to help make the harmonies of every song soar high and pretty. Mail The Horse are that downhome, twangified rock and roll can still be rousing and original.
