About
"London-based Broken Horses make the kind of rapturous dreampop that aligns them to Slowdive and Beach House, while also evoking the doomed romantic yearning of Mansun or The Wild Swans. Star-crossed songwriter Graham Sampson is a magnetic frontman." - Rob Hughes - Journalist/Broadcaster "DAMN GOOD ...sounds huge, lovely" - Mark Gardener - Ride Whilst a good many across the globe know Graham Sampson as the front man of The Smyths – a band who celebrate the music of The Smiths on both domestic and international stages - he has established international acclaim as a writer of songs that speak to the soul. He possesses a voice of depth and range, from soaring falsetto to dark deep bass enveloped in filmic soundscapes evoking bliss and heartbreak. Broken Horses are Graham’s creative vision realised – a 5-piece band whose sonics take audiences to a place recalling the shimmer of Cocteau Twins, Cigarettes After Sex, Mazzy Star and The Delays. “I’ve always sought to make music that is beautiful. That so many people commonly use beautiful to describe my work means everything to me. I seek to take people from the grey that life can be and replace it with colour. Music can take us to places that only the rush of new love is equal to – or the vivid pain of love lost. Both let us know we are alive” Broken Horses debut EP was released January 2025. The singles "Sparklehorse” and “Haunt You” were released in July and September respectively. All are available across streaming platforms with accompanying videos on YouTube.
