New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Emerging from Glasgow's vibrant music scene, alternative sextet Diving Horse has steadily made a name for themselves with their intellectual lyrics and infectious post-punk rhythms. Since forming in 2022, the band has released a series of compelling singles, such as 'You and I the Universe' and 'Big Sands,' captivating audiences with their thoughtful lyrics and danceable beats. On August 2, 2024, Diving Horse will release their latest single, 'Sometimes I Feel Like a Fool,' continuing their tradition of producing music that stimulates both the mind and the feet.
'Sometimes I Feel Like a Fool' is a positive and vibing track that perfectly encapsulates Diving Horse's unique sound. Inspired by the later works of Talking Heads, the song features poppy rhythms that mask the deeper, more introspective lyrics about feeling like a fool. The combination of catchy choruses and thoughtful songwriting creates a vintage feel that is both nostalgic and fresh, inviting listeners to sing along while reflecting on the universal experience of feeling foolish.
Speaking on the release, the band shares, "For this song, we wanted to write a song with a chorus you could sing along to, and 'Sometimes I Feel Like a Fool' is what came out. Musically, the song is inspired by the later works of Talking Heads, and lyrically, the song masks feeling like a fool under poppy rhythms. We hoped to tap into a universal feeling we all have and say, 'Don't worry about it too much!'"
Diving Horse draws inspiration from bands like The
National and LCD Soundsystem. Their music combines artful indie rock with propulsive beats, creating a sound that is both cerebral and danceable. In 2023, they released three singles and built a dedicated fanbase in Glasgow, performing at celebrated venues such as
Stereo and Broadcast. With support from notable publications like Scotland on Sunday and SNACKmag, as well as radio personality Jim Gellatly, Diving Horse continues to make waves in the music scene. The band will perform next at Glasgow's Hug and Pint on July 10th, followed by a show at ButeFest on July 26th, promising an electrifying live experience for their fans.
