SINGLE REVIEW: Horsebread – Take Time
Horsebread’s roots lie in the quiet desperation of small-town life, where music became a lifeline for its creators, Sam and Andrew. Their journey from the desolation of youth to crafting something uniquely reflective mirrors the ethos behind their name—a forgotten relic turned into a treasure. But while their backstory adds intrigue, it’s the music itself that speaks volumes.
‘Take Time’ is an atmospheric triumph, weaving together a hypnotic mix of shoegaze haze, trip-hop-inspired tempos, and the raw edges of indie and alt-rock. From its delicate, ethereal opening to its textured, swirling crescendos, the track is a kaleidoscope of sound, equal parts haunting and transfixing. There’s a certain improvisational quality in its darker, noise-rock flourishes, yet it never feels chaotic. Instead, it builds with a careful intensity, moving between moments of shimmering stillness and heavier, more dynamic surges.
At its heart, ‘Take Time’ captures the push and pull of human emotion, wrapped in an almost cinematic soundscape that feels immersive and otherworldly. It’s a testament to Horsebread’s ability to blend genres seamlessly, delivering something that feels as introspective as it is expansive. This is a track that rewards close listening, pulling you into its depths and refusing to let go.
With ‘Take Time,’ Horsebread proves they’re far more than their humble beginnings, offering a distinct and innovative sound that feels refreshingly genuine.
