I Break Horses

Comprised of Maria Lindén and Fredrik Balck, the Swedish duo I Break Horses is an avant-pop outfit that was formed in 2008. With a textured shoegaze flavor and defined experimental leanings, the duo released its debut album, Hearts, in 2011 to favorable reception. The group's sophomore effort, Chiaroscuro, came out in 2014 and by focusing more on electronic sonic dynamics, I Break Horses managed to demonstrate its ability as a band that's unafraid to experiment with its sound in order to achieve its artistic endgame.
