"I refused to believe anything I was seeing was happening to me or even happening at all… I was just freaked out by everything." This initial sense of alienation has shaped Giannopoulos's music, allowing listeners to resonate with similar feelings of disconnection and confusion in their own lives. His struggles fuel the themes carved out in his work with Horse Jumper of Love, creating powerful reflections on growing up amidst existential angst.
"The forms of those songs have shifted occasionally over the years… but they're all united by Giannopoulos' oblique approach to songwriting." Each song serves as a glimpse into his psyche, merging memories, emotions, and dreamlike sequences into the material. The sense of disoriented storytelling becomes a hallmark of the band's style, inviting listeners to meander through the labyrinth of thoughts and feelings that each track evokes.
"For all the uncertainty and malaise reflected in the lyrics, Disaster Trick is full of some of the band's most focused and direct arrangements." Here, Giannopoulos's band has fine-tuned its sound, combining the weight of rhythmic elements with stunning guitar lines, creating a backdrop that elevates his introspective and fragmented lyricism. The coherence in arrangement contrasts the ambiguity in his lyrics, crafting a captivating experience for listeners.
