Horse Jumper of Love have announced a new album: Disaster Trick, the Boston slowcore band’s fourth full-length LP, arrives August 16 via Run for Cover. Featured on the LP are March’s “Gates of Heaven” and today’s new song, “Wink,” which has contributions by Wednesday’s Karly Hartzman. Check out Brittany Reeber’s video for the track below.
Singer-guitarist Dimitri Giannopoulos was inspired by Russian author Dmitry Bakin’s short story “Leaves” while writing “Wink.” “The story is partly about people leaving their home for something better, but when they return they are back to the same place they started,” he explained. “The story shed some perspective on my own life and the ebb and flow of pushing forward for something better and going back to your old ways.”
Disaster Trick is Horse Jumper of Love’s first full-length album since 2022’s Natural Part. Additional contributors to the new album include Wednesday’s MJ Lenderman and Squirrel Flower’s Ella Williams. Last year, the trio released Heartbreak Rules, a mini-album that included two reimagined tracks from Natural Part and a cover of the Smashing Pumpkins’ “Luna.”
