Horsebeach

Manchester’s Horsebeach happened after Ryan Kennedy took annual keep from his day time job in Piccadilly Records to spotlight his own melodic, dreamy acoustic guitar pop. The fruits of those fourteen days of labor became Horsebeach’s 2014 self-titled debut, that was recorded right to tape in Kennedy’s Manchester smooth. Keen to consider the record on the highway, the multi-instrumentalist and maker formed a music group that included Tom Critchley on bass, Tom Featherstone on acoustic guitar, and longtime friend Matt Booth on support vocals and drums furthermore to his personal business lead vocals and acoustic guitar. Off the trunk of their debut, which recalled the indie acoustic guitar jangle from the C-86 picture, they were asked to try out Primavera’s winter event, Golf club Primavera, in Barcelona. The music group released their follow-up II in 2015, and it presented both an X-Files-inspired music in “Dana,” and lusher, even more expansive creation than their debut. All Horsebeach’s recordings had been released through their personal imprint Alone Collectively, and this tendency continued on the third outing, 2017’s Beauty & Sadness. They continued to announce a U.K. tour to get the record that also included an area within the Blue Dot Festival expenses.
