DESCRIPTION:Horse Jumper of Love S/T 10 Year Anniversary Deluxe Edition\n\n
 Sometimes the best art happens when no one is paying attention. That was c
 ertainly the case for Horse Jumper of Love’s self-titled debut\, an albu
 m of scrappy\, aching slowcore\, written in a basement\, quietly put on Ba
 ndcamp and tape in 2016 by Disposable America\, and then given a wider rel
 ease on vinyl and streaming the following year by Run For Cover Records. T
 he album's extremely humble origins might seem incongruous with its outsiz
 ed impact—a decade on Horse Jumper of Love is widely regarded as an esse
 ntial record of the 2010s\, a key release that helped propel slowcore and 
 shoegaze out of the musical dustbin and back into the indie rock zeitgeist
 —but at the time of its creation\, the young band couldn’t have had lo
 wer expectations. Now\, in celebration of the album’s tenth anniversary
 \, Horse Jumper of Love and Run For Cover have expanded and re-mastered th
 is cult classic\, including a booklet of handwritten guitar tabs\, archiva
 l photos\, and an additional disc of unreleased b-sides\, demos\, and alte
 rnate versions. It’s a lovingly assembled tribute to a seminal record an
 d to the time\, place\, and spirit from which it emerged.\n\nIn the spring
  of 2016\, Horse Jumper of Love (guitarist/vocalist Dimitri Giannopoulos\,
  bassist John Margaris\, and drummer James Doran) were a fresh-faced trio 
 of teenagers making a name for themselves in the Boston house show circuit
 . "I started writing these songs in my parents’ basement when I was nine
 teen years old\,” explains Giannopoulos. He had no intentions with it be
 sides the hope he’d make back the small amount of money it had taken to 
 record. “It’s truly a slacker album in that way\, one that could only 
 have been born out of the shamelessness of being a worm. It came because i
 t had to\, because I was en route to fully submitting to mental illness an
 d self-destruction. You put your art out because you burn to tap into some
  universal truth and make the world feel less alien. In hindsight\, it was
  very pure.” That bone-deep need for self-expression permeated Horse Jum
 per of Love and helped it connect with an unexpectedly dedicated audience 
 on Bandcamp before catching the attention of ascending label\, Run For Cov
 er\, who pressed it to vinyl and spurred the momentum further. Soon the ba
 nd’s small local following was expanding to message boards\, then to tas
 temaker outlets like Stereogum\, Pitchfork\, and NPR\, and suddenly the gr
 oup found themselves at the start of what would become a real career as pr
 ofessional musicians.\n\nIn a few short years Horse Jumper of Love went fr
 om playing in Boston basements to headlining tours worldwide\, performing 
 at high profile festivals\, and opening for their influences like Duster. 
 And now in turn\, traces of their self-titled debut can be heard in a new 
 generation of sonically indebted groups like They Are Gutting A Body of Wa
 ter\, Teethe\, Shallowater\, and more. Such quick canonization might seem 
 like a surprising trajectory for these soft-spoken\, rough around the edge
 s songs\, but Horse Jumper of Love has become a modern classic\, its elegi
 ac tracks are slowcore staples and its hand-drawn cover art (illustrated b
 y Giannopoulos) is instantly recognizable. The sentiment of this music and
  Giannopoulos’ yearning delivery has had an undeniable staying power\, a
  sense of purity and universality that rings timeless. “I see now that i
 t has a lot to do with family and a transition between dependence and alie
 nation\,” he says. “This album feels like a portrait of that alienatio
 n as I was coming into it: I had moved out\, dropped out of community coll
 ege\, had no direction\, fell in love\, got heartbroken\, etc. I was 19 wh
 en I started writing the album\, 21 when I finished it. I didn't think man
 y people would hear it. I got embarrassed\, like waking up hungover after 
 revealing too much at the bar in front of people you don't know.”\n\nThe
  thirteen bonus tracks on the 10 Year Anniversary Deluxe Edition (most of 
 which were recorded by Giann…\n\nBoletos: https://bilet.bg/bg/events/hor
