Icy, dramatic Shoegaze elegance wrapped around warm, warm vocals.
I Break Horses deal in electronically-driven shoegaze, creating vast cathedrals of spectral sound around simple sequenced lines.
'Winter Beats' is exactly that, a sheet of chilled but elegant air formed around crystalline patterns of ascending synths.
Soaring vocals create an organic, human edge to the sound, combining to generate an unstoppable rush that brings to mind the best work of Efterklang or the more austere moments of Spoonfed Hybrid. It's more linear than the Cocteau Twins but reminiscent of Seefeel's splicing of waterfalls of sequencer with soupy drones and gazing.
Delightful stuff.
