Boston's Horse Jumper of Love locate the soft spot between Nirvana and Sebadoh on their second album, So Divine, just out. Appropriate really, as like these two, they're a three piece band, and as Robert Forster so rightly surmised the trio, when they get it right 'can be the purest form of rock n roll expression'.
Horse Jumper of Love 'get it right' on a regular basis on So Divine. They use various explorations of Pixies and Nirvana's fast / slow gambit to set up advantageous positions for themselves on the chessboard of Retro Alt.
That's not to imply that they're formulaic, because this is a neat record and they're a cool, inventive band. Here are four strong arguments in support of the case for the defence.
