Song You Need: Horse Jumper of Love’s “Sitting on the Porch” is a restless daydream

thefader.com:

Boston three-piece Horse Jumper of Love have distinguished themselves from other post-Ovlov rock groups with a sincere brand of slowcore that feels less like an arm around the shoulder and more like an extended hand, offering to pick you back up.

The band achieve this through dreamlike rather than didactic means; if frontman Dimitri Giannopoulos's presence is like a beacon, his light is like that of a firefly's, dancing in the music's shifting fog.

The songs from Natural Part, the group's upcoming third album, have showcased a reinvigorated Horse Jumper of Love. "I Poured Sugar In Your Shoes" and "The Natural Part" are love songs written on circuitous, more treacherous paths that make the arrivals at their respective destinations all the more satisfying. "Sitting on the Porch," out today, may be the most elusive single from the album yet.

The song's composition borrows a touch of post-punk angularity in the guitars and Giannopoulos's machine-press delivery of his free-associated lyrics.
