An Horse

Brought to the attention of the indie pop world by the then darlings of the genre, Tegan and Sara, An Horse hailed from Brisbane, Australia, and was originally envisioned as a solo vehicle for former Iron On member and record shop employee Kate Cooper. Having made a favorable impression on the Canadian indie duo, Cooper -- and eventual bandmate Damon Cox -- soon found themselves sharing a bill with Tegan and Sara on their 2008 American tour. 2008 would also see the oddly titled group release a well-received EP, Not Really Scared. Coupled with the touring slot for an already hot act, An Horse soon caught fire, and their popularity in both Australia (where they toured with Death Cab for Cutie) and the United States was going through the roof. In 2009, An Horse unveiled their debut album, Rearrange Beds. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide
