Brooklyn-based rockers A Deer A Horse have been hard at work on a yet-to-be-announced album recorded at Gojira’s Silver Cord Studio in Queens, New York. Now, the band is unveiling new music by teaming up with Consequence of Sound and Heavy Consequence to premiere the riff-heavy new song “Double Wide”

the band — a duo which consists of songwriters Jaybird Parkhurst and Stefanie Vigoren, by the way — have just announced that they’ll be marking the end of summer NOT with silence and frigidity, but by throwing on their brightest fall jackets and stepping-out for a series of dates with another little “propulsive indie rock band” you might have heard of called Modest the fuck Mouse!

SDTF aren’t necessarily the “typical” sort of band you might imagine would come out of New Orleans … On the one hand, they sound like all the most palatable, pure pop-funk sounds from the 80s (think Prince, Rick Astley etc). But on the other, they’re almost… nightmarish. Theirs is a warped, chaotic, DIY nostalgia, brought to life by a series of freaky homemade videos. Maybe it’s horrid. Maybe it’s amazing. Maybe it’s both at once.

“Kiss Kiss I’m Fabulous,” celebrates black girl magic. The video features people dancing joyfully in different New York City locations, while Miss Eaves encourages everyone to ignore haters and let their lights shine. “Hating is so tragic / I know I am fantastic / I got that Black girl magic,” she sings.

Trench Foot’s mud-caked arrangements range from the plucky, bluesy smolder of “Skin Dryer” to the garage Johnny Cash shuffle of “Pansy From The Hills,” which rounds itself out with a fireside group sing-along. Baker feels that her interpretation of country music doesn’t necessarily fit with modern iterations of the genre. “It feels like I’m writing a country song based on these elements of country music that I think are the elements of country music, but they’re identifiers that probably aren’t as obvious to other people,” she explains.

Check out the lead single “Cold Damn Truth” from He Arrived By Helicopter’s debut album The Shiny Hostel featuring C.Gibbs and members from Lucinda Black Bear & Sean Lennon.

Her songs range from complex emotional trips, to simple setups for abrupt punchlines. This is absurd, humorous, tragic, Jim Jarmusch country. No doubt her songs descend from her visual arts expertise (think music that sounds like a Nevelson or Bourgeois sculpture might), but there’s a familiar element to Guts Club’s music. The feeling of impending doom, demanding you gather friends, and get back to the simple things, like learning a few guitar chords, and starting a lo-fi band.

If you’ve ever been in a transition with yourself, a loved one, or even your body, then you need to listen to “The Laundress” and watch the music video. “The Laundress” by Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Gabrielle Sterbenz and the accompanying music video directed by Brooklyn-based cinematographer Fletcher Wolfe focuses on a transitioning relationship.

Trench Foot is Guts Club’s third album, a transfixing record that has touches of psych, country and folk, all grounded by Baker’s direct, beautifully unadorned singing. Her subtle vocal inflections draw the listener in further, every song seemingly a story she’s telling directly to you. Or sometimes at you.

Directed by Steven Rodrigues, the music video for Trench Foot’s title track, premiering below, follows Baker by drone through a mysterious bayou landscape, shovel in hand, propelled by a shuffling electrified country blues.
