Black Horse
The Black Arts Of Black Horse
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed, Out Of Print, Self-Released 2009 Original. Black Horse Formed In The Spring Of 2004 When Brooklyn-Based Seattle-Transplants April Goettle (Vocals, Guitar, Synth) And AP Schroder (Vocals, Guitar, Programming) Consolidated Their Musical Endeavors Into A Duo. On Their Debut Goettle's Vocalizations Don't Position Her As An Antagonist As Much As They Cast Her As A Sturdy Front Woman; A Feminist To Be Sure, Friend Or Foe You Decide. She's A Songwriter Who Understands The Balance Of Language From The Brain, The Heart And The Guts, And The Subtle Shades With Which Each One Can Add Grit And Color To The Others. All Of This Is Underscored By Schroder's Unwavering Rhythms That Are Programmed Into The Drum Machine And Ground To Bits Under An Impenetrable Duel-Guitar Traipse. Each Song Is A Capsule Of Discomfort, Confrontation And Catharsis, Streamlined And Put On Display As Aggressive Pop Fodder. Goettle Has Stated, "If You're Going To Bother Writing Lyrics You Want People To Hear, They Should Be Worth Listening To," And She Has Held Herself To A Strict Standard Of Songwriting That Strikes With Visceral And Challenging Tenacity.
