The Whiskey Decision

Slow Horse

We all know about whiskey decisions. The flip-flopping. The memory loss. The grief. Slow Horse isn't full of regret, though. It is, however, a moody mother. Opening with an aural attack of "Automatic," the Austin-via-Flagstaff, Ariz., trio dives into angry lounge ("W.H.Y.D.F.M.L.?"), pop ("Cynthia Said"), fuck-you punk rock, and "The Emo Song." The Decision could play any venue in town. As long as they have a full bar. ***
