Horace Music Breaks Up
After nine years, critically acclaimed London electropop duo, Horace Music, finally called it a day at the end of 2007.
Comprised of two best mates, Peter Rolls and Karl Wilson, Horace Music exploded onto the London scene in the early to mid noughties with their trademark sound of melodic synths, tough kick drums, fat basslines and theatrical vocals “full of testosterone, ego, and confidenceâ€.
Ever since they met and discovered a mutual passion for music, the duo wrote and produced EPs of varying distinction. In 2002, they moved into a flat in Holloway, North London, to write and record the material for a new album.
Inspired by their nights of partying and riding the rollercoaster that was the London club scene at the turn of the millenium, they experienced the ups and downs. But it was their all-consuming love for the music they created that held them together and would ultimately lead to their opus and debut full-length album, “H-Bombâ€, released in 2006.
Starkly original, yet unashamed to wear classic influences from the 80’s and 90’s on its sleeve, H-Bomb is an unrelenting rush from start to finish.
There's an aura of danger and excitement, a barely contained sense that this band might implode at any moment, and yet there is a unity about them that is admirable in the face of their imminent self-destruction.
Horace Music teamed up with VJ and producer/director Scott Jaeger to make the video for “Dangerous†and Scott was subsequently recruited to provide visuals at the band’s live shows, famed among fans for their audio-visual assault on the senses and compelling performances.
Horace Music combined 80's New Romanticism, 90's Electronic Pop and the sounds of the dance music underground.
"H-Bomb" is available now on iTunes Music Stores worldwide.
