Five tracks in one night and not a single apology. horsegiirL put the entire HARDCORE HEALING EP out at once on October 30, and have u eva is the one I keep crawling back to. The lyric sheet is basically a list of questions, have you ever felt a love like this, have you ever felt your heart beat next to mine, and she asks them like someone who already knows the answer and is enjoying watching you squirm. Two minutes fifty-seven, no fat on it. The EP is her companion piece to NATURE IS HEALING, the June album that put a woman in a horse mask at the front of the trance revival, and her own line on the title is that hardcore can mean a lot of things and this is not a punk record. Fair enough. Dylan Brady of 100 gecs turns up on the lead single, Cannelle turns up here, and the whole run of five plays like a barn party where somebody finally fixed the sound system. The hyperpop lane is officially open on this blog, and I could not have picked a better horse to lead it out of the stable.
