Boston-based rock duo The Horses present a fun, hooky charmer of a track with “Little Epiphany,” their second single. Comprising Tyler Wyatt (formerly of Surfliner) and Johnny Burke, The Horses stir with a mixture of chugging guitars, steady rhythms, and blaring organs on this production — a replay-inducer that envelops in its punchy vocals and no-frills, nostalgic rock pull. “I wanna be part of your, soak up all your, perfect little pretty little epiphany,” the stylish vocals let out, giving way to a delectably twangy guitar solo past the two-minute turn.
“I wanted to make something that sounded good coming out of a speaker on a July evening,” says Burke, who wrote the track following attending Oasis’s return show in Manchester. “Like an outtake from REM’s Lifes Rich Pageant that I wish they’d kept.” It represents another success from the duo, who caught our ears with their debut single “Block” earlier this year.
