Dead Horse One are a neo-psychedelic/shoegaze band based in Valence, France. The band was founded in 2011 by Olivier Debard, Ludovik Naud, Antoine Pinet (a former member of French band H-Burns [1]) and Jérôme Simonian. Simonian later departed, and Maxime Garcia and Ivan Tziboulsky joined.[2]
History
[edit]Following an eponymous, self-released 2012 EP, the band issued the Heavenly Choir of Jet Engines EP on Cranes Records later that year,[3][4] as well as a split 10" EP with the Dead Mantra.
In 2012, Dead Horse One joined the Dead Bees Records roster and was featured on the label's 11th and 12th sampler compilations.[5][6][7] They also appeared on two compilations from Nothing Collective.[8]
Dead Horse One's first full-length effort, Without Love We Perish, was produced by Mark Gardener of Ride.[9][10] It was first issued in March 2014 in CD format by Hands and Moment (Japan)[11] and on vinyl by A Quick One Records (France).[12] On January 22, 2015, it was reissued on vinyl by Les Disques De La Face Cachée/Dead Bees Records.[13]
The band's second album, Season of Mist, was released in 2017.[14]
