Biography

Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States (2006 – present)

Jenks Miller’s / project, Horseback, produced an sleeper-hit with 2007’s Impale Golden Horn. That record, which Aquarius Records described as “the best drone record of the year” upon its release, boasted four lengthy tracks, each one a vibrant and kaleidoscopic journey toward a manic, inevitable nirvana. More melodic and accessible than most records and noisier than most dream-pop records, Horseback’s debut carved itself a niche somewhere between Merzbow and Stars of the Lid, offering a refreshing sound to fans across many sub-genres of music.

Horseback began its story in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States in 2006.

Horseback toured in the fall of 2007, including a stop at the fourth-annual Arthur Magazine-curated Million Tongues Festival in Chicago.

Horseback’s next full-length, The Invisible Mountain, was released by Milwaukee’s Utech Records (Locrian, Aluk Todolo, Mamiffer) in 2009 to underground acclaim; it was then released on vinyl by the United Kingdom occult label Aurora Borealis in 2010 before being picked up by heavy-music powerhouse Relapse Records, who distributed the record around the world. Carried forward once again by Relapse’s greater visibility, The Invisible Mountain scored spots on many year-end lists (including Stereogum, Decibel, BrooklynVegan, Verbicide, All Music Guide, and OMG Vinyl).

After the success of The Invisible Mountain, Horseback produced a number of splits with genre-defying shape-shifters like Voltigeurs, Locrian, and Pyramids, and Forbidden Planet a limited black-noise cassette full-length on Brave Mysteries.

    The Stolen Fire tape is strange stuff, even from this band. I like it.

    Also Michouz, I should mention the fact that I feel like punching you in the face for being such a god damn twat.

    His voice fits very well with the music. "On the Eclipse" is a perfect example.

    @Michouz: take a closer look at my charts before you say something retarded. There's nothing wrong with BM vocals, as long as it fits to the music, and in this case it doesn't in my opinion. Not to mention the fact that he's a bad singer like Rolandas_Pagan said.

    As a fan of neither drone nor most black metal, I gotta tell you guys...for some reason, this is working for me. In fact, the almost Krallice-like black metal vocals is what puts the icing on the cake here. The juxtaposition works really well in my opinion.

    The instrumentals are great, but the vocals... Sorry guys, I frickin' love BM, but this is just pathetic. No variations, just primitive grunting.

    his voice MAKES this band. I think the whole sound of the band just comes together so well. his vocals are just perfect. so yeah Nostradanus, away off and listen to some Radiohead or Bob Dylan.

    Dear god the vocals are absolutely awful. Sucks, because the music is actually neat. They should have used stoner vocals instead of BM ones.

    "Impale Golden Horn" will be pressed on vinyl for the first time: http://threelobed.com/tlr/tlr086.html Support Jenks, he's one of the most creative and boundary-pushing artists of our days!
