Following on from 2019's 'The Unforgiving Current', Horsebeach's Ryan Kennedy returns with his fifth record 'Things To Keep Alive'.
With 'The Unforgiving Current' exploring the themes of isolation whilst living in Tokyo, Kennedy has since returned to the perpetual
grey of Mancunia. But rather than viewing his return to Manchester as a step back, Kennedy has used Horsebeach as a catalyst to
explore and make positive strides within his mental health.
From Beatles-esque balladry, fuzzed out shoegaze and a lavish cover of a 00s pop classic, 'Things To Keep Alive' still importantly
retains the Horsebeach DNA and even has moments that will take fans all the way back to Kennedy's C86 inspired debut LP. In turn,
this results in Horsebeach's most varied and rewarding album to date. A record that inspires and shows growth; a record that makes
you appreciate the things you help to keep alive.
Here's what Ryan (Horsebeach) had to say about the album."I always treat each album as a snapshot of a certain period of my life
and Things To Keep Alive is no different. However, it's less of a measure of time and more a snapshot of the mental space I've come
to occupy over the past few years.
Fundamentally, this album is about my own struggle with one particular side effect of my mental health. Especially my propensity to
long for the sweet release of death. I've come to learn how to deal with these things over time and I have always cared for my many
cats, plants and important people close to me.
These things bring me great joy and through the fog of my depressed haze I have finally learned to water, feed and care for myself
as well. These are the things I keep alive.Musically I've decided to revisit themes from my earlier work but allow myself to open up to
sounds I might have restricted from the Horsebeach palette in the past. It's quite a simple album thematically but perhaps the one
I'm most proud of to date. I've given myself much longer to write this album and I hope the extra time I've spent nurturing each
song comes through in the end."
