Read our chat with Horse Jumper of Love (horsejol) on aliens, drawing and their new LP 'So Divine,' plus listen to their new single 'Nature':
Boston slowcore trio Horse Jumper of Love have shared “Nature,” the third single from their forthcoming second albumHorse Jumper of Love formed in 2013 out of Boston’s DIY house scene, and their 2016 self-titled debut album established them as one of today’s hardest-hitting slowcore bands. They signed to Run For Cover Records for their new album, which finds frontman Dimitri Giannopoulos, bassist John Margaris and drummer Jamie Vadala-Doran pondering the seemingly random nature of memories.
“It kind of started from some joke riff we had,” Giannopoulous says. “There’s that bluesy, bended note in there, and we all made it into a real song. We were all like, ‘This is the most fun song we have.’ Then I get to do a solo at the end, which I don’t usually do. I don’t really know how to play guitar like that, so it’s basically just me turning on all my pedals and making a bunch of noise.
You’ve played several of these songs in a live setting for a long time, but they’ve changed since then. How did those evolve? The original album cover depicted Jesus with the head of chicken and the arms of a squid, and the actual album cover contains a dark figure with a halo. Is there a religious or spiritual aspect to this record?

Santa Anita Park Officials Announce They Will Stop Allowing Bets On All Upcoming Horse DeathsARCADIA, CA—Following numerous complaints from lawmakers and animal rights groups, Santa Anita Park horse track officials announced Tuesday that they will immediately stop allowing bets on all upcoming horse deaths. “We have listened closely to your concerns, and that is why, as of now, we will no longer let spectators gamble hundreds of thousands of dollars on whether a horse will fall and shatter its leg in any given race,” read a statement from park owner The Stronach Group, admitting that the sight of hundreds of spectators screaming for the horses’ blood had created an expectation of violence that the park did not condone. “While the opportunity to place wagers on outcomes such as how many bones a horse will break and the amount of time between an excruciating accident and a terrifying death has been one of the major draws of Santa Anita, this will now be the exclusive province of off-track betting parlors.” The press release also confirmed that the new rules change would not affect the park’s popular Horse Demolition Derby event.
