Haunted Horses is an industrial-punk trio hailing from Seattle, WA. The band has a reputation for a relentless and chaotic sound that pushes the boundaries of post-punk and noise rock. Formed by Colin Dawson and Myke Pelly, the band’s sonic intensity was further amplified with the addition of bassist Brian McClelland in 2022. Their music is characterized by its dissonant, heavy textures and ominous vocals, drawing comparisons to influential acts like Swans, Bauhaus, and Killing Joke. Their debut album, Watcher, showcased their ability to craft a visceral, noise-driven experience, earning them accolades from critics such as Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop. Building on this momentum, their follow-up, Dead Meat, and their 2022 release, The Worst Has Finally Happened, continued to explore dark and experimental themes, solidifying their reputation in the industrial rock scene. These albums were noted for their complex soundscapes and thematic depth.

With DWELLER, set to expand their exploration of existential dread and transformation, Haunted Horses is poised to further evolve their sound. The album is a spiritual successor to their previous work, delving into intense, unsettling themes with renewed vigor: the fear and anxiety tied to the obliteration of one's self or identity, and the unknown outcome of this dissolution. The concepts came through a series of meditations, some of which didn’t make sense until the process was complete.  Known for their captivating live performances and extensive touring history, Haunted Horses continues to captivate audiences and challenge the conventions of their genre with this release.

Haunted Horses "Grey Eminence"

The concept of Cult and Culture began as a short segment created by Justin Pearson, an internationally known musician, record label owner (Three One G Records), author, and actor. He is best known as bassist/vocalist for bands such as Dead Cross, The Locust, and Deaf Club, among many others. Justin has come to know and work with a broad spectrum of captivating personalities and brilliant minds, many of which are key figures in the realm of popular culture and cult followings alike. Guests include a broad scope of musicians, producers, authors, filmmakers, and anyone passionate about what they do. In its infancy, segments were shorter, 10-20 minutes, and would be recorded while on tour. Since then, Pearson has collaborated with producer and musician Luke Henshaw (Planet B, Sonido de la Frontera) to build the idea into a proper podcast, now recorded at Penguin Studios in San Diego. The focus is not intended to be in any one realm, and because guests are friends and family, the conversations are frank, informal, well-informed and genuine.

This release is a compilation featuring many of the artists who have been interviewed on the podcast thus far. It will include musical tracks from bands and musicians such as The Exploited, The Locust, ADULT., Year Future, Martin Atkins, and more, interspersed with short snippets from the podcast itself.

Additionally, there will be a limited edition 7” from Luke and Justin’s band Planet B to go with it which includes a cover of Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel’s “White Lines (Don’t Do It)” with guest vocals from Johnny Whitney (The Blood Brothers).

This compilation will be released in collaboration with Smashed Plastic. It will be available on bandcamp as well as limited edition vinyl.
