OPENER ANNOUNCEMENT! Horse Thief has been added to Wednesdays show with Ages and Ages and London Jax. This youthful band is a purveyor of a panoramic yet nuanced sound, flowing from intimate to anthemic, the mood from vibrant to contemplative, with frontman Cameron Neal’s lyrics ranging from confessional to metaphorical. The result evokes the wide-open spaces of America’s Midwest but infuses the sense of grit and wonderment with edgier emotions. Horse Thief originally founded in Denton, TX, moved to Oklahoma City to attend the Academy of Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklahoma, from which they recently graduated. The band subsequently signed with the Flaming Lips’ management and soon came to the attention of Bella Union. Though Fear In Bliss was conceived at Horse Thief’s Oklahoma headquarters the band decided to record the album in LA, “to leave our comfort zone of Oklahoma”, and producer Thom Monahan (Devendra Banhart, Vetiver) has helped the band fuse their renowned stage performance with studio quality. Horse Thief recently teamed up with labelmates The Flaming Lips for a pair of covers-- the Flaming Lips doing a version of Horse Thiefs I Am the Bear and Horse Thief doing a version of the Flaming Lips Try to Explain from new album The Terror. (Horse Thiefs album Grow Deep, Grow Wild was released on the same day as The Terror.)
