Inspired by the short story ‘The Tiger’s Bride’ by Angela Carter, The Lament (part 1) is the start of I Am Horse exploring the imagery of literature through music.

The Lament (part 1)

This track finds I Am Horse as an electronic duo. Choked is a gentle piece featuring layers of synths.

The final track of #555 is the epic ‘Crocodile'. In 2014, a crocodile was allegedly spotted in Bristol's docks. ‘Crocodile’, inspired by this incident, explores the possibility that someone in crisis could manifest their fears in the guise of a beast, and then go to face it.

￼I AM HORSE are Magda Conway and Suzi Lamb.  The Bristol duo got together in 2010, though they'd previously played music together for years in Brighton before both ending up living in Bristol. At various points the two have been joined by Anna Gravelle/Toby Field(keys), Rebecca Lambert /Kate Fox(violin), and Sally Barnett (cello). 

March 2013 saw the self-release of their debut album 'Then let me go' recorded at Bristol's Toybox studios [PJ HARVEY, Perfume Genius]. It's a collection of tracks that  evolved over the years since the band formed.  

I Am Horse have since created a set of 5 tracks with a  more electronica inspired vibe, which were released one track a month for 5 months from June-October 2016. 

Since 2018 the band have been on hiatus while Magda and Suzi pursue different things but there are plans for the two to start collaborating together in 2023 and they are sharing current musical ideas for a small exchange to take place in Berlin.
