Last year, Horse Jumper of Love released their latest album, Disaster Trick, drawing acclaim from fans and critics alike. To celebrate the album’s anniversary, they’ve announced Disaster Trick Deluxe Edition, arriving October 24 via Run For Cover Records/Civilians, with b-sides, demos, alternative versions, and more.
Today, the band has shared Mansion, a previously unheard track from the Disaster Trick sessions that taps into the combination of expansive songwriting, dreamlike mood, and satisfying dissonant guitar crunch that Horse Jumper of Love excels at.
Vocalist/guitarist Dimitri Giannopoulos discussed the new song, saying: “‘Mansion‘ is a song that started back in the self-titled days (2014/15-ish). I remember being into the early Swans stuff back then, and it had a pretty direct influence on the guitar and drums. I always regret not recording it when I was 20, so I could have tapped into the youthful rawness the self-titled album has. In the studio, Jamie, John and I knew how to play it right away, even though we hadn’t thought about it in almost eight years. That’s a cool part about being in a band together for so long – the collective memory we share that allowed us to record something that was almost abandoned. The song only existed in our minds that whole time, no demos or anything.”
