horsemen: without u
Francisco Espregueira
Berlin and Amsterdam collide in the soulful sounds of Horsemen, the duo of Christoph and Morrison, returning with their latest four track EP Without U on Aterral. True to both Horsemen and Aterral's ethos, the EP prioritizes raw emotion and musicality over unnecessary embellishments.
The title track "Without U" sets the tone with a melancholic yet captivating atmosphere, built around echoing synths and an ambient undercurrent, while "Time to Love Again," subverts expectations with its unconventional percussion and groovy bassline. Soulful samples and ethereal violin-like sounds weave through the track, creating a unique sonic tapestry. Rounding out the EP is "Familiar Sensation," a club-ready anthem that samples the legendary "Love Sensation" by Loleatta Holloway. High energy is balanced by unexpected instrumental elements, keeping both your mind and body engaged. Available on Bandcamp, this is another groovy release in Aterral’s catalogue and in Horsemen’s discography (one that we’ve been covering extensively).
