Mere days after teasing its imminent arrival, Pittsburgh rock band feeble little horse have released their third album, bitknot, via Saddle Creek. The 11-track record is streaming below, and is also available for download/purchase here. Physical copies will hit shelves on June 26th, with pre-orders going on here.
The follow-up to 2023’s excellent Girl with Fish, bitknot was written, arranged, produced, and recorded by band members Sebastian Kinsler, Lydia Slocum, and Jake Kelley. According to a press release, the trio, who spent time at each of their respective homes working on the record, found great interest in contrasting “the digital and the physical, questioning ideas of hyper-individualism and self-sufficiency.” Even the record’s artwork reflects this resulting search for “new forms of interdependence and shared humanity.”

Said feeble little horse, “The album art is based on the coincidental core memory matrix, which was used in old computers to store memory/access information using 0s and 1s. Each core, or ‘bit,’ is accessed through the grid of wires, like a knot that stores secret details and memories.”

What we get with bitknot, then, is an album about the value of human connection and how its been forever altered by “the isolating effects of capitalism, technology, and modern consumer culture.” The music itself is this unabashedly human reaction of sharp emotionality and genuine unpredictability, with the band “blending expansive arrangements, introspective lyricism, melodic hooks, and dense noise textures.” bitknot is proof that the human spirit is very much alive and well amid the unbridled chaos of modernity.
To coincide with the album’s release, feeble little horse have announced a supporting North American tour for later this year. The band have three distinct legs outlined: mid- to late July, early to mid-October, and early to mid-December. (There’s also a UK/Europe jaunt scheduled for November.) Along the way, feeble little horse will share the stage with the likes of Computerwife, Touching Ice, snuggle, and Mop.
The ticket pre-sales kicks off on Thursday, May 28th (use code DEATHMONEYTECH). That’s followed by the general on-sale on Friday, May 29th. Grab your tickets via Ticketmaster.
