"Little One," the newest single from Oklahoma quintet Horse Thief's forthcoming new album Trials And Truths, debuts today-listen here. Trials And Truths is set for releaseJanuary 27 on Bella Union. Preorder the album here.
"Little One" follows the first track released from the album, "Another Youth." Watch the video, which premiered last year via FLOOD, here.

The band recently wrapped up a run of very special live dates previewing music from the new album and will tour more extensively this spring. Dates are to be announced soon.
For Trials And Truths, Horse Thief reunited with producer Thom Monahan (Devendra Banhart, Vetiver). Frontman Cameron Neal notes, "We had more time to dwell on these songs, as the first record was written and recorded really quickly. We'd toured Fear In Bliss for eighteen months, which really helped us get to know each other's styles, and where to take the new songs. It means this album is closer to the sound that we want."

Influenced by their life on the road, love, relationships and home, Neal says, "The title Trials And Truths is about us: we're still a young band, figuring out how to make things work and to have a purpose, so we can get through any hard times. But the band is very much together-it feels like a brotherhood, we're all in it for the same reason."

Trials And Truths follows Fear In Bliss, the band's highly acclaimed Bella Union album debut. Clash Music noted its "punchy riffs and sunshine melodies, lovely harmonies and production," while The Line Of Best Fit said, "twinkling guitars and keys sashay around Neal's tender voice, creating a warm, melodic bath of sound. It's a thing of beauty."
Horse Thief was originally founded in Denton, TX by Neal. He joined forces with Cody Fowler (bass), Alberto Roubert (drums, percussion), Zach Zeller (organ, keys, guitar) and Alex Coleman (guitar, keys) while studying at Oklahoma's Academy of Contemporary Music. The band was then introduced to Bella Union through their friends, The Flaming Lips, and released their debut album shortly after.
