The story

Hymns for a Dark Horse is an album by Bowerbirds. It is Bowerbirds’ debut album, originally released in July 2007 on Burly Time Records, then reissued by Dead Oceans in expanded form in June 2008 with two bonus tracks. The album is strongly tied to ecology, rural life, Anti-consumerism, and spiritual/natural imagery. PopMatters described it as music of “conflict, hurt, and persistent faith,” resisting industrial and materialist damage while remaining invitational rather than merely polemical.
