Stereogum Streams Kuroma’s New LP, The Dark Horse Rides Again, Going For CMJ Debuts This Week
Kuroma‘s The Dark Horse Rides Again consists of “achingly pretty music delivered with a gentle touch,” writes Stereogum, which has a stream of the entire LP. Stereogum notes that bandleader “Hank Sullivant was a bassist in the Whigs and a touring guitarist with MGMT during their Oracular Spectacular-era breakout… [and] it’s obvious why MGMT asked this guy to join their band: The Dark Horse Rides Again is expert-level psychedelic chamber-pop, tapping into the same kaleidoscopic ’60s and ’70s fantasias that inspired Sullivant’s fellow Athens products in the Elephant 6 collective.” Read more, and behold the album, right here or below.
The album follows Kuromarama, an LP from the first half of 2015, and 21+ Centuries, an EP from the autumn of last year. The band’s had CMJ success in the past, but we think The Dark Horse Rides Again is deserving of Kuroma’s best debut week yet – will it be on your chart?
