Brown Horse - All The Right Weaknesses

Brown Horse are excited to announce their second album, ‘All The Right Weaknesses’, out April 4th 2025 on Loose. The group returned to Sickroom Studios following a multi-month European tour. Road tested, the band tracked these eleven songs in a whirlwind week of live takes. Building on the stark twang of their debut album, ‘Reservoir’, ‘All The Right Weaknesses’ sees an energised Brown Horse meld slacker-rock, folk, and alt-country.

Arriving off the back of a busy touring schedule which included sets at Green Man Festival, Latitude, and the main stage at End of the Road, Brown Horse’s second album is characterised by an intense energy born from night after night on tour playing full-band shows.

As the band explain: “We’d been on the road in Europe for over two months by the time we arrived at the studio to start recording. We were pretty much constantly together, spending hours in the van listening to the same music, exploring unfamiliar places and playing shows almost every night. That was sort of the creative justification for playing so many dates ahead of recording, to find that level of coherence. We didn’t need to pay for rehearsal space - we rotated new songs in the setlist and learned them on our rare days off. We’d slept on floors and in construction sites, caught midnight ferries, driven a Ford Transit past incredible Norwegian fjords and been towed from a snowbank in the middle of nowhere by a man in shorts and flip flops. It was pretty cool to be that tuned into each other, and have that shared experience going into recording an album.” 

While the songs in ‘Reservoir’ took shape over years of intimate, stripped-back pub gigs, ‘All The Right Weaknesses’ holds nothing back, building a yowling wall of distorted guitars, accordion, banjo and pedal steel, at once familiar and difficult to place. The songs are thoughtful and delicately arranged, but the record rocks harder than ever.
