Pittsburgh-based indie rock band Feeble Little Horse made their return to the music scene on March 11, 2025, with their new single “This Is Real” after a two-year hiatus. This track marks their first new music release since their 2023 sophomore album Girl with Fish.
🎧 Structure and Production
“This Is Real” features Feeble Little Horse’s signature blend of shoegaze and indie rock elements. The song opens with Lydia Slocum’s repetitive vocals and soon dives into dense layers of guitar distortion that pull listeners deep into its atmosphere. Guitarist Ryan Walchonski notes how the song’s distinct sections are clearly separated, each carrying its own thrilling energy.
🎤 Vocals and Lyrics
Vocalist Lydia Slocum shares that the creation of this track was a slower, more contemplative process compared to their earlier work. She describes the song as a kind of time capsule for the band and hopes listeners connect with the emotion embedded in it.
🎶 Live Shows and Touring
Feeble Little Horse made a significant mark with their 2024 Coachella performance. In summer 2025, they will take their music to European stages, playing festivals such as Primavera Sound Barcelona and Outbreak Festival.
“This Is Real” stands out as a reflection of Feeble Little Horse’s musical evolution and creative journey. Their experimental approach within shoegaze and indie rock delivers a fresh and immersive listening experience.
