hearts + horses
The trio Hearts + Horses came together after the founding members Wes Steed and Jeannette Faith witnessed Tom Monson’s exquisite talent with percussion and reeled him in to play improvised sets, often contributing to the experimental jazz scene in Sacramento, California. Monson, who regularly plays with Cake, Anton Barbeau, and other Sacramento-based artists, joined married couple Steed and Faith (formerly of Park Avenue Music) to make beautiful improvisational soundscapes. Mostly instrumental, the group’s debut showcases piano, both acoustic and Rhodes, adding to that the effects of modular synthesizers, dynamic drums, and feminine vocals reminiscent of dreams you had as a teenager in love sprinkled over the tracks like powdered sugar.
