Hot on the heels of their explosive debut, A Formal horse are set to release their second LP, Meat Mallet.

Following the success of their independent album Here Comes a Man from the Council with a Flamethrower, the Southampton-based prog quartet have returned to the studio with veteran producer Rob Aubrey (Big Big Train, IQ) for the anticipated follow-up.

Building on the song-based, violent whimsey that has been the band’s trademark, the line-up of Hayley McDonnell (Vocals), Benjamin Short (Guitars), Russell Mann (Bass Guitars) and Mike Stringfellow (Drums) return with a selection of 12 spicy songs, all co-written by the band remotely in 2020.

“We’d wholeheartedly like to thank everyone out there who has supported the band to date – it’s only because of the passion that the music community have shown that we were able to do this again. May All Beings Be Happy!”
