Leeds, England (2009 – present)
The Horn The Hunt are a pop band from Leeds, England, comprising of Clare Carter & Joseph Osborne. On stage, they are joined by Conor Lawrence on the drums. They débuted with the eponymous “The Horn The Hunt” album (independently released, Aug 2009), followed a second album, “Depressur Jolie” (23 May 2011, White Label Music).
“The Horn The Hunt make their music atmospheric, but not in the same way that the current wave of witch house are. Instead of slowing down & distorting samples, there’s a building presence that runs through their tracks, nuanced arrangements that serve to engulf rather than overawe.” - Pigeon Post
“Depressur Jolie is the first pre-conceived album we’ve written together. After releasing our 2009 début and establishing ourselves as a band, we knew exactly what we wanted our next album to be about. It would be colourful and bouncy with lots of different forms and textures, but have this dark underbelly throughout. We wanted to make a big pop album – our ideal pop album – full of bold, aggressive songs that have no loyalty to any particular sound or style. To us the album is like a colonial voyage, all steeped in British ambition and guilt. It starts with this ship sailing out over huge waves in the opening track, then land is sighted, we go ashore on this tropical volcanic island and bump into predators and carnivorous plants - the usual adventure story. There are a few battles, lava’s flowing into the sea, coconuts are running out, you start to question why you left your home, homesickness descends.” explains visual artist Clare.
“Raptor”, the first single from “Depressur Jolie”, includes two remixes from producer Dean Honer (I Monster / Human League).

I can see quite a lot of influences. I must have played 'Hit and Run' 20-30 times. It grows on you significantly.
