Disaster Trick - Horse Jumper of Love

For a band whose origins have much to attest to existential dread, this record brings a strangely hopeful feeling to the group’s discography. Horse Jumper of Love’s ‘Disaster Trick’ highlights the group’s evolution and maturation since their 2017 debut, especially in regards to their songwriting. Though still as melancholy-sounding as ever, HJOL opens their hearts up on this record. The opening track, “Snow Angel” sets forth the mood of the album perfectly; beginning with goodbyes to loved ones and reflections upon what could’ve been done differently. ‘Disaster Trick’ hits a strikingly emotional tone with a chest-lifting, indescribable hopefulness brought by distorted, fuzzy instrumentals.
