Horsebath's debut album, Another Farewell, reflects on themes of wanderlust and the challenges of relationships faced by touring musicians. The band's sound combines rambunctious barroom energy with rootsy melodies, evoking a sense of restlessness. Their lyrical focus on roaming recalls the influence of iconic artists like Neil Young and Gram Parsons. The music balances heavy touring experiences with joyous arrangements, creating a vibrant road trip atmosphere that emphasizes the bittersweet nature of life on the road.
Because the road so closely informs the music they play, Horsebath can't help but romanticize their own wanderings, and Another Farewell's spry twang and imaginative arrangements make for a rip-roaring road trip record.
A later lyric admits understanding 'the weakness of a moving man', referring to the ways the band's heavy touring schedule disrupts relationships, romantic or otherwise.
