Calico Horse Saddles Up

(PR) Banter Records is proud to announce the debut full-length release from San Diego quartet Calico Horse, Mirror, out on June 24. Born out of the ashes of The Clock Work Army, Calico Horse find themselves with a new line-up backing Clock Work's delicate frontwoman and co-songwriter, Emily Neveu. The release of Clock Work's debut EP last year, Catalyst For Change, was met with sudden and overwhelming success. This came as a bit of a surprise for the fledgling band. Within a few months, they were consistently selling out shows, gaining more and more momentum as the word spread across the city that these guys (and gal) were special and seeing them was important.

Following the success of their EP, Neveu and guitarist Scott Wheeler began writing the songs that were to be Clock Work's first full length album. Shortly thereafter, Wheeler ended up moving to Portland and Emily was left to finish the album on her own. Luckily, she enlisted the help of producer Pall Jenkins, best known for leading The Black Heart Procession. The two hit it off immediately and the sessions resulted in what is now Calico Horse.

With the help of seasoned musicians, bassist Dave Pettijohn, drummer Tom Peart and guitarist Matt Mournian, rounding out the Calico Horse lineup, the band will hit the road once again on a nationwide tour. Though this album has taken a year to come to fruition, Calico Horse has been doing plenty of TCBing on their own already, performing
with bands like Yeasayer, MGMT, Helio Sequence, The Black Heart Procession, Dead Meadow and Beach House.
