    That’s not to say Girl With Fish is an exclusively positive, agreeable record, though: “Steamroller, you fuck like you’re eating” is how Slocum opens the record’s best song, cutting through a maze of noise with a lackadaisical demeanor. It’s this balance that cues Feeble Little Horse up to be one of the biggest bands working in indie rock right now, especially if they keep making records as good as this one.

    Remotely self-recorded and produced across various Pittsburgh apartments, its 11 songs are oddball bursts of imagination, whimsy, and discord.

    Shattering the myth of “sophomore slump syndrome,” feeble little horse possess an uncanny bravery. They forge ahead with a fearlessness that is palpable even when the lyrics are sparse.

    These songs are massive, yet also bent and personal in a way that lets you in even as they blow you back against the wall.

    Squeezing 11 songs into 26 minutes is no easy task but somehow Feeble Little Horse manage to give each gem a personality and identity.

    With an album this good, feeble little horse are bound for the winner's circle. For now, though, the grass looks plenty green right where they're standing.

    Slocum’s lyrics give this tight 27 minutes of music a literary might beyond this band’s years.

    Intensely frantic and intimately vulnerable, Girl with Fish proves that sometimes letting things run off the rails pays off, so long as you have hands to grasp onto.

    Feeble little horse rise above the DIY pack because there’s always something to grab onto in these songs: a blast of shoegaze guitar, a passing melodic line. “She’s five foot one, you’re six foot five,” Slocum sings on a verse in “Freak” like a little ditty. It’s a miniature moment on a miniature album, but it’s smartly placed and instantly memorable.

    Girl with Fish, then, is an economical calling card and the sound of a band coming into their own.

    A little and nice rush for anyone who want to
