Hah, one of the first threads bumped for a band that I've really gotten into since my roulette. Deadhorse is definitely my favorite in their discography based on the first runthrough, so that should be fantastic. It's curious how they have some musical theater elements to their sound, which is historically a style I've never really cared for, but they're one of the few artists who it doesn't bother me about.
it is really cool you've gotten into them from your Roulette.
You're not really that into The Dear Hunter though? although I've seen some fans of DPR who aren't that big of fans of TDH.
It's weird with the Deadhorse album, as I love it and it actually was my Album of the Year for 2020. But it holds a little of a stigma for me in that I associate it with some difficult times. 1 being just coming out sort of amongst COVID and how daily life seemed to change. And then I can't get past how I listened to the whole thing when my wife's dog Coco was sufferng and then had to be put down.
It unfortunately has carried that association for me since. I can't avoid thinking of her dog of 14+ years Coco and the tone and subject matter in some ways in Deadhorse being like the end of the world and how we long or I long for a time when Coco was still with us and COVID was not a thing. Even just living in a better place. I moved into a Townhouse I don't love (which wasn't so bad initially, but 9 months later, literally within weeks of COVID, new LOUD neighbors moved-in next door) and was diagnosed with Diabetes and having a Bloodclot.
I.e. Deadhorse almost reminds me how in a lot of ways, life was better before it, and I wish I could go back to the time before it.
But music does that to you sometimes. Sometimes stuff like that you can get over and not associate with music, but sometimes it's not easy and just hoping Time Heals you know.
