Bio
Mild Horses is the new-ish incarnation of Matthew Leuw, who was previously involved with Norwich noise-poppers Crest, skronky Brighton art-punks Coin-op and was the guitar playing half of the lo-fi electro pop group 2 Hot 2 Sweat. The plan was to combine elements of those previous acts into one psychedelic melting pot, a dash of electronics here, a soupcon of guitar wash there and a big ol' splash of freewheeling experimentation providing the main flavour.
The debut album Ignorance To Enlightenment And Back Again was released in June 2021, followed by Return To Dust in 2023.
Press:
" A jazztronic voyage through the gears – from ambient to lightspeed in the blink of an eye/ear. There is plenty of Caribou (and previous incarnation Manitoba) here and you could even squeeze a bit of Four Tet in there too to make for an absolutely vibrant mix that feels so alive with possibility. Absolute goodness from Matthew Leuw" -mp3hugger.com
