New single: FOUR KINDS OF HORSES

Gabriel: “Four Kinds of Horses” actually began on Richard Russell’s project Everything Is Recorded. He’s a friend (and founder of XL Records), and he asked me to pop into his studio.
I came up with some chords, melodies, and words on top of a groove he was working on. We tried a few things that didn’t altogether work, and so it laid dormant for quite a while. Then I started playing around with it again and changed the mood and the groove, and something else began to emerge with a better chorus.”

This almost 7-minute composition about the intersection of religion and violence,
is a mid-tempo mood-swinging musing with soothing synths, firm bass play, and
an intense, vocal chorus.
