Imagine if ..."Baby One More Time"-era Britney Spears and Bill Callahan holed away to make a record. That’s the fantasy Lily Konigsberg and Matt Norman bring to life as Lily and Horn Horse. Though the two barely crossed paths during their overlapping time at Bard College in New York’s Hudson Valley, a seemingly predestined encounter brought Lily and Matt together. While on a quest for a lost blanket, Matt ended up at his old house, in which Lily was now residing. The pair eventually began working on recordings together, with Matt adding baritone horn to Lily’s songs, and Lily adding vocals to Matt's recordings. Many of those tracks found their way onto March 2017’s compilation Lily on Horn Horse; the 28 track tape flits from drum-machine dances to abstract frenzies but sounds remarkably cohesive all things considered."
