London’s risers, The Horn share their compelling second single of 2023 ‘Too Many Moments’, released ahead of their upcoming tour with Scouting For Girls.
Once again showcasing the bands striking blend of indie-rock tendencies and subtle electronic textures, ‘Too Many Moments’ opens with an airy reverb tinted guitar lines under the delicate, charismatic and effortlessly captivating lead vocals. Soon introducing a tight guitar riff, plucky bass and understated the drums, the track captures a melancholic, atmospheric tone as the instrumentation dances around the soundscape with a sense of space and subtlety.
Produced by the renowned Danton Supple, known for his work with Coldplay, ‘Too Many Moments’ sparkling production helps to highlight the beauty in the musical arrangement, most evident as the track enters a spiralling, transportive middle eight in the latter third of the track before building to a climactic final chorus.
Beneath the catchy melodies and infectious rhythms, ‘Too Many Moments’ carries a deeper meaning. The song taps into the relentless rush of life’s flow and the perpetual to-do list that seems to haunt us all. The lyrics convey a message of grappling with the overwhelming pace of life while also embracing the freedom to challenge authority and societal norms. The Horn has never been one to shy away from asserting their views, and this track is no exception. It’s a call to break free from constraints, self-doubt, and the stifling grip of authority figures.
The band explain: “It’s about the madness, all the stuff good and bad that we are all engulfed in. Too much stuff around us, too many to-do’s, too much aggravation, too many people taking advantage of you, too much expected of you, too many responsibilities, too many lovers, too many big problems, too many small ones, too much fun, too many fun things to do, too many memories (good and bad), trying to hold it all together, pretending to hold it together…. I think! Or maybe its about something else.”
