ANDY OR THE FOUR HORSEGIRLS OF THE APOCALYPSE/Black Vinyl

Description

The second album by Pelvis Wrestley, ANDY, or: the Four Horsegirls of the Apocalypse, is a fantastic meditation on impermanence through the lens of missing people and those who are no longer with us. Written during a time when pandemic guidelines were unclear, the songs draw inspiration from the diasporas of 2020, when so many people moved without even the suggestion of a farewell party. The record is named after a previous project of Benjamin Violet, ANDY, which saw its members relocate during the lockdown. As Pelvis Wrestley, Violet repurposes the mythology of the titular demigod for a new era. Following the release of their debut album, "Vortexas Forever," the Austin-based band has become known for its unique blend of Americana, baroque pop, and '70s glam, reminiscent of Of Montreal, Sparklehorse, and Arcade Fire. They have received support from Kishi Bashi, The Austin Chronicle, Under The Radar, and were named artist of the month by KUTX, affiliated with NPR, in June 2023.
