An Horse: Walls

"If you had asked Kate Cooper or Damon Cox where their musical conversations would lead them when they were still employees at a record store in Brisbane, Australia, they wouldn't have come close to guessing the truth. After months of speculative chat, the pair — she on vocals and guitar, he on drums — finally pooled their musical talents in 2007, cribbing the name that Cooper had already used for sporadic solo gigs. (An Horse came from an argument Cooper had with her sister about grammar.) By the following year, the local buzz had spread far beyond the confines of their home country. The duo's opening slots for Tegan and Sara's American tour and Death Cab for Cutie's Australian circuit generated great anticipation for their 2009 debut album, Rearrange Beds; the resultant reviews kicked them into a completely different dimension. Luckily, they weren't pressured by either external or internal expectations when they began work on their sophomore album, the soon-to-be-released Walls" (Brian Baker, "An Horse You Rode In On," New Haven Advocate, 3/24/11).
