Lily and Horn Horse - Lily On Horn Horse (Cassette) |

With Lily on Horn Horse, Lily Konigsberg (of Palberta) and Horn Horse (Matt Norman) deliver a 28-track collaboration that synthesizes the eclectic musical talents of both multi-instrumentalists. Originally presented as a CD, the compilation was sold and packaged in origami during an August 2016 tour of the north-east. The album is more a snapshot of a creative time and place than concept-album. As Lily and Matt say "The release of Matt’s Horn Horse album featured Lily on most songs, most of which are included in [the] tape. Around the same time Lily was developing a mega set of karaoke music and instructed Matt to blow down some car horn charts which were eventually replaced by baritone horn parts and inserted into the recordings...inside thine tape."The record ends up a coherent pastiche of diverse tracks full of free jazz-inspired brass freak-outs, ethereal piano ballads, and synth arrangements skewed toward electronic composition. Lily's siren-like voice calls from a perfume-cloud of disco-inspired grooves while Horn Horse’s vocals hit robotic and angular production. Tracks like "Today" and "She Doesn't Have A Good Brain" bring to mind an Arthur Russell-like elevation of pop-music experimentation. In short, the record is a curated-tour through the frontiers of Lily and Horn Horse's creative landscape.
