Feeble Little Horse are a Pittsburgh quartet that make weird-ass noise pop. Their 2021 full-length debut, Hayday, was one of the year’s best under-sung albums, throwing shoegaze, blown-out guitars, downcast melodies, and glitchy chaos into a blender. Now, that record is being re-released by Saddle Creek, rightfully putting them on the same label as Spirit of the Beehive and Palm. “Chores,” the first song feeble little horse wrote as a complete foursome, captures the band’s freewheeling attitude. Atop fuzzy, elastic guitar, singer Lydia Slocum unloads her frustration with an ex who lacks manners and, unfortunately, looks “dumb as fuck” in a Christmas gift. “You need to do your chores/You need to clean the floors,” she demands, hardening her point with a deliciously deadpan “sorry.” Slocum’s sardonic voice slices against the unpolished, intricately layered squall, sharp enough to cut through even the most irritating of bullshit.
