History

Feeble little horse was formed in early 2021 by guitarists Sebastian Kinsler and Ryan Walchonski, who first played together in a short-lived garage rock band.^[1] The duo enlisted the help of drummer Jake Kelley to release a debut project.^[1] Feeble little horse's first EP, modern tourism, was released in May 2021.^[2] The band expanded to include singer and bassist Lydia Slocum, and feeble little horse released their debut full-length album, Hayday, through Philadelphia label Julia's War Recordings in October 2021.^[3] The group signed to Saddle Creek Records in October 2022, and rereleased Hayday both through the label and their Unstable Collective imprint, expanding the tracklist to include a bonus track, "Dog Song 2," and a remix of Hayday track "Termites" by the Philadelphia-based shoegaze band Full Body 2.^[4] The album's second single, "Chores," received praise from the New York Times and Pitchfork upon rerelease.^[5][6]

On February 27, 2023, feeble little horse announced their second album with Saddle Creek, Girl with Fish, and issued the album's first single, "Tin Man."
