Fall Horsie

The Band
Performing often as a quartet, Fall Horsie is the shape-shifting lyrical
song of Justin Karas, accompanied by piano or guitar, orchestral
drums, violin and viola. Working together like a chamber group, the
quartet echo's traditional american song, Waltz and Ragtime, as well
as many contemporary performers like Sufjan Stevens, Joanna
Newsom, etc.. With dramatic, and disciplined arrangements from his
accompaniment, Karas as narrator discloses visions of the sublime,
and fears from the dream state.

The Album
"Devil(e)durge", recorded during the summer of 2007 by Stacy Lloyd
Brown is Fall Horsie's second full-length album, and his first to be
released on Youth Club Records. The songs on the record were
written in Halifax, Nova Scotia during the fall of 2006 and the winter
of 2007 while Karas was being visited, frequently in dreams, by
visions of the devil (albeit a non-denominational one).

The album is ambitious and orchestral, psychedelic (sans-distortion)
and has classical elements filtered from the mind of a self-taught
composer with a love of words. Thematically influenced by these
"visions" of a demonic presence, personal experiences are transformed
into a battle with a sublime and seductive force and ask the
question: when faced with such an energy when is it appropriate to
fight it, and when is it necesary to join it?
