Pulled Apart By Horses To Release High Five, Swan Dive, Nose Dive

• 27th Jul 2010

Emerging as one of the most acclaimed and talked-about breakout acts of 2010, Leeds quartet Pulled Apart By Horses return this September 6th with the release of ‘High Five, Swan Dive, Nose Dive’, the second single release from their critically acclaimed debut album. First single ‘Back To The F**k Yeah’ exploded all over Radio One, no mean feat for a jarring, screaming two minutes and forty seconds of noise! ‘High Five, Swan Dive, Nose Dive’ is equally – if not more – explosive. The vocal hook is instantly infectious, yet the riffs will melt the skin from your face.

“It’s a celebration of fired up dancing and the slapping of human palms connecting with one another,” explains guitarist James Brown. “It was penned to unite its listeners via the medium of discordant wailing and flailing bodies. We hoped to infuse dance floors and peoples legs with its reigning rhythm. It's good for your health to party, so here is a musical invite to ours!”

The track has already been singled out by The Guardian in their 4/5 album review (“High Five, Swan Dive, Nose Dive’ should sound amateurish, but is – like the rest of this rip-snorting debut – brutal, noisy, fun.”) and is released on 7” and digitally (the B-side is cover of Sky Larkin’s ‘Somersault’).

The band are also set to support Foals on their UK tour and are also pleased to announce a headline appearance at The Garage in Islington on December 2nd.
