Sounding like a record written by the unhappiest cowboys you’re likely to meet, 
Estonia’s Holy Motors are clearly one for dark, twangy, americana filled with wistful
longingness and a belief that loneliness is often the best solution to the relationship
conundrum.   

Formed by a mixture consisting of part Mazzy Starr, part Lana Del Rey and part Chris
Isaak, the layered guitar textures of Horse, complete with their dreamy, dialled-
in, vocals sound like the moment of resignation; the prefect soundtrack to a future
play-out/bar scene in Lynch’s next episode of Twin Peaks.    

Minimal in places, full of twang in others, Horse is a complete album in textures
and imagery – standout ‘Midnight cowboy’ (“a little late to the party, everyone’s
got somebody”) sounding like the happiest/unhappiest ‘come on’ you’ve ever heard.
Clearly even sometimes cowboys get the blues.
