About the track the band explains, “There is a romanticization of ‘the tortured artist’ or ‘the biblical hedonist’ that follows celebrity and music culture around that I find pretty appalling. It’s something that I believe is responsible for the deaths of a large number of some of the most profoundly talented people that have ever graced this miserable planet and it should be prevented as soon as possible.”
The band have also shared videos for the tracks “Office Job Simulator” (https://youtu.be/9vA86Qli06w) and “The Shape of ASMR To Come” (https://youtu.be/RNDDbQgHIm0). Formed in 2015, the band grew slowly at first. 2019’s Druj and 2020’s Drugs EP’s saw them hit on a relentless stride of eclectic releases that simultaneously confused and entranced audiences. In 2021 the band released their debut album, The Live Long After. In 2022 the band released the Waterloo Teeth EP. A release that paired Sugar Horse’s terrifying eclecticism with guest appearances from 12 other artists in four songs. Guest appearances include the world conquering post-punk bass lines from Idles’ Adam Devonshire, heavy titans Conjurer and Pupil Slicer’s throat crippling wails. Sugar Horse recently toured with LLNN, and previously with post-rock luminaries 65daysofstatic across Europe, as well as dates with Pianos Become The Teeth, Liturgy, Chat Pile and an appearance at ArcTanGent festival.
