After nearly two decades, five albums and countless chaotic shows, Pulled Apart By Horses return with album number six, ‘Dopamine Hits’ - a record built around a newly rediscovered sense of freedom. With dead wood cut loose and old deals unravelled, Tom Hudson, Rob Lee and Tommy Davidson-Hawley went back to their Leeds rehearsal space, Role Model, and started making music simply because they wanted to, enlisting producer James Kenosha, who worked on some of the band’s earliest material. The result is abrasive, restless and unpredictable: vicious punk bangers, 80s goth and post-punk, motorik rhythms, sludgy riffs, fuzzed-up guitars, synths and huge hooks. Along the way, the “Lynch-hole” became shorthand for making things weird and freaky. Self-released on their own label, ‘Dopamine Hits’ is a band cutting loose and rediscovering the joy of doing things their own way.
