What a pleasure it is to hear a band finding new ground with an arguably overplayed genre. That’s exactly the case for the Inner Mongolian Beijing-based outfit Horse Radio. While it has its share of knee-slappers – reggae-infused rock-tilted jams that one can imagine would ignite a crowd at just about anywhere – there’s an inherent exploration within their sound; an improvisational vibe that elevates the material and truly feels organic as it dips its toes into other genres. 图片 The band has been dormant for some time, as its ring leader Bayan Dalai continued to inject elements of krautrock, psychedelic music, and experimental tones into his ancestor music - so it was exciting to see where they had picked up the pieces. A lot of that exploration is even more apparent in the band’s sound now - giving them room to breathe and allowing them to chart their own course.
