We’re proud to bring you the new release from Little Horn and Whale Heart, Boards and Colors. While hard at work on their follow up LP, Little Horn has decided to offer here the remaining tracks from the Twelve sessions, their lauded sophomore release.  ”Cheyenne” starts Boards and Colors in a lovely and familiar fashion. Just Keith and his guitar, it recalls the first Little Horn album, Such Pretty Houses.  ”Cheyenne” is followed by the heroic bombast of “Array of Colors”, the instrumental throw down of “Trestleboards” and the majestic “After Darkness Light”. This release closes a chapter for the band as they continue to play shows, develop and record new material. Download it, (name your price) enjoy it and be sure to catch Little Horn at their show in Atlanta on March 9th!

Little Horn is making a fuss at The Earl next Thursday, December 15th. The band have been tearing it up live showcasing new material and breathing new life and vision into the old. They’ll be there with fellow mythical creatures EVP and Takenobu. Props to Andrew Bellury for another winning poster. 

Eye of the Crow presents Little Horn performing Bridges Break at the Georgia Guide Stones. Bridges Break is track two off of Little Horn’s brand new EP, Twelve. Twelve was released yesterday, July 26. You can read some early press about it here and here. 

Big day here at Whale Central. For starters, we’ve got the release of Little Horn’s Twelve EP. You can read early reviews of it here and here. Twelve is the first recording for this particular line up of Little Horn. Up til now it’s pretty much been Keith and whoever he’s hanging out with at the time. The new band (DJ Higgum, Steve Brown and Rob “Jimbob” Bellury) fill out the songs and support Keith’s deep southern baritone in a way we haven’t heard before. Go here to watch the guys perform Bridges Break at the Georgia Guide Stones. 

Next, we’ve got Pacific Theater dropping video for their medley, “The Weight / Festival”. The two songs make up tracks one and two on their upcoming release, Warm Light. Warm Light is due September 6th and the gang are playing a show tonight in Williamsburg. 

Last but not least, Lille have begun recording their next record at our home away from home, Metaltern Studios. Guided by the steady hand of producer, studio wizard and barbecue scion, Daniel Whitt, the band have begun laying down tracks. There are 10 - 15 songs floating around. I imagine Grace is currently plucking them out of the air like so many colorful balloons. DB will be joining the crew in the studio over the weekend for some mustache grooming and high five competitions. 

Wait, July’s over? 

Whale Heart Records proudly presents “Twelve”, an EP by LIttle Horn.

Twelve is the follow up to Little Horn’s first album “Such Pretty Houses” which was recorded and released in 2009. Since “Such Pretty Houses” Keith has put together a rhythm section comprised of Lille members, Rob Bellury and Steve Brown. DJ Higgum eventually rounded out the band and completed the line-up. 

Twelve is available on iTunes, Amazon and of course, at the Whale Heart Store where you can stream the entire record too ! If you’re interested in the tactile experience of purchased music, we have “Twelve” on CD as well. 

“This is a very good band, already, with some better than average material to work with, and if they get a break or two, and keep writing songs like “Thief,” they’ll be rolling on I-75N and playing shows all over this great big, backwards-ass country of ours.” - Impose Magazine

“I really don’t like comparing bands as I feel that this detracts from their own unique sound, but I can’t help thinking of The National and Okkervil River when listening to Little Horn’s ‘Bridges Break’. This track has the grandeur of the former band I mentioned, and the emotional resonance of the latter. Saying that it’s catchier, especially during the 1min 45 second mark, where the song comes into it’s own and becomes jangly and bouncy. All I can say at this junction is MORE! MORE!” - Stagedive Malta

Former Little Horn bassist/ethereal sound generator Neal Williams surprised Keith with some artwork recently.  In Keith’s words: “Its so beautiful I had to share it.  I’m speechless.” 

Come on folks, its late on a weeknight but you know you want to. 

Little Horn and Daniel Clay will be making a ruckus tonight at the Eastside Lounge in Atlanta! And WHR Brooklyn wishes they could be there! 

Little Horn’s new record is currently being mixed by the steady hands of Mr. Daniel Whitt at Metaltern in Athens, Alabama. It’s got a new band, a host of new instruments and more vibe than you can shake a stick at. We’re not talking just yet, but look out for it sometime this spring or summer. :)

We’ve got so much going on in this last quarter of 2010 and we’re stoked as all get out about this creative burst happening between all the Whale Heart artists. Next up in the studio is Little Horn and we can’t wait to see what they produce.

LH headed out to Elberton GA to shoot an acoustic music video at the Georgia Guidestones with the insanely talented Scott Mckibben.  The song we did was “Bridges Break” which you will find on our new album planned for release next Spring on Whaleheart Records.  We go into the famed Living Room next month to record with analog god Ed Rawls.  The video will be available to watch in January.  Also, full band photos coming soon!  No more looking just at my face.  Keep your eyes and ears tuned. 

Cordially, 

Keith “Talentmaster K-rock” Forrester
