PRODUCT DETAILS
feeble little horse is naturally delighted to present their third full-length LP, bitknot. The album was written, arranged, produced, and recorded by Sebastian Kinsler, Lydia Slocum, and Jake Kelley across their respective homes in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
A spirited investigation into the unnatural space created between human nature and a culture of convenience, a synthesis of dirt and digital, bitknot by feeble little horse creates a language wherein one can re-imbue a sanctity of interdependence away from consumptive ?self-sufficiency? and materialism. ?The album art is based on the coincidental core memory matrix, which was used in old computers to store memory / access information using 0s and 1s. Each core, or ?bit,? is accessed through the grid of wires, like a knot that stores secret details and memories.? bitknot asks that we find new modes of being through this grid, entrusting one another with the collaborative construction of these knots. This negotiation with an ever-developing hybrid reality is expertly exemplified in the album?s production ? the buoyancy of Kinsler?s arrangements provide a perfectly balanced surface tension for the weight of Slocum?s meandering introspection as they playfully harmonize against saccharine hooks, walls of noise, a supercharged car battery?s worth of synths and samples dropped in the ocean of their guitar-driven songwriting framework, and some of Kelley?s most laser-focused drums to date to create a sonic chimera that is as likely to be found nascently developing in the early aughts as some unknown, chromatic future.
Rhymes written with sidewalk chalk that refuse to be erased in the Anthropocene?s acid rain of destructive relationships, Herbert Marcuse?s One-Dimensional Man manifest through the spirit of a young woman born in the shadow of the Steel City?s industrial ghosts, a study of the clumsy alchemy of IRL and WWW ? it is within these rhizomatic contradictions that bitknot proliferates.
