After a 5 year hiatus Mythological Horses returns with a proper 3rd album out February 2nd on Godless America Records taking the band to new musical heights of pure rock n roll balanced with the band’s early Anti-Folk beginnings. The band’s 3rd studio album titled SKY KING after Richard Russell the Alaska Airlines employee who stole an airplane from Seatac airport in 2018 and tragically crashed it into an uninhabited island in the San Juan islands. The new album starts off fast and hard with the first side of the album being electric and then slowing down to tea next to the fireplace as you flip the album to side two which takes a more acoustic approach.
Led by American singer songwriter Shawn Holley the band has stayed true to their bedroom stoner teenage rock anthems but with ever so many more catchy riffs and underlying bubblegum tones watching Peter Pan syndrome play out in real time as Holley enters his mid 40’s and medical issues are a major factor in his life now. “I like to say I’m the proud new owner of Lupus and Rheumatoid arthritis (A condition that attacks the body’s joints causing extreme swelling and pain).
