Faster Horses

Faster Horses

Faster Horses is an alt-country duo whose songs peek through the endearing limitations of recording and arrangement techniques from a bygone era to explore both the sadness and generativeness of heartbreak. The project is the result of many years of off-again-on-again collaboration between Kate Ellen Dean and Steve Sopchak—attempting to make the most of the rare moments when the two find themselves in the same city. Press around Faster Horses’ debut described it as “leaving behind a breadcrumb trail of folk and traditional American songwriting influences with a sound that recalls the sadness-tinged balladry of Bonnie Raitt and the country-pop sensibilities of early Taylor Swift.”
