Pulled Apart By Horses

Leeds trio Pulled Apart By Horses are a potent force within the alternative rock scene, existing in its own chaotic ecosystem - less a gang, more a fucked-up family. Now they take back the keys to the kingdom with an album of freshly charged new tracks. ‘Dopamine Hits’, their sixth album and first to be released independently via their own label, Damage Limited Records, will be released on 12th February, marking the start of a new chapter. Formed in 2008, across five albums and nearly two decades, they’ve built their reputation on loud, chaotic shows in sweaty rooms and festival fields. Now, after a period of upheaval, they return with 'Dopamine Hits' - a record that feels like a reset, but not a retreat. It’s abrasive, immediate and restless, packed with fuzzed-up guitars, pounding drums, synths, warped textures and huge hooks, while leaving plenty of room for strange turns, darker moods and unexpected moments of vulnerability. But underneath it all is a charged sense of freedom - it’s the sound of a band rediscovering the impulsive, gonzo spirit that first made them, and the joy that comes from being able to follow an idea simply because it feels good. Ultimately, ‘Dopamine Hits’ is about the band finding their way back to the thing that mattered in the first place: three mates spending time together, making art, following ideas and making a racket. Pulled Apart By Horses are: Tom Hudson – Vocals / Robert John Lee – Guitar, backing vocals / Tommy Davidson-Hawley – Drums
