Desolation Horse

Desolation Horse makes crunchy, sweet, guitar-driven music rooted in pop in a way that takes the listener somewhere much weirder and wilder than they may immediately realize. The band’s confidently eclectic catalogue is “filled with stream-of-consciousness lyrics and twinkly, lo-fi guitars as expansive as the ocean” (NPR), and onstage they bring a full-band, electrified intensity that is both familiar and new to listeners of their recordings. Based out of Idaho and Oregon, the band, led by Cooper Trail, released their third album, “Biff,” on American Standard Time Records in October 2023. Their fourth studio album is expected in early 2026.
