Pittsburgh staple feeble little horse are back with “This Is Real,” their first release since 2023’s Girl With Fish, along with the announcement of their first ever EU/UK tour. Listen to the new single below, accompanied by a list of the band’s tour dates.

The band’s singer Lydia Slocum had this to say about “This Is Real” in a press release: “I think it’s important that this song is released to turn the page, but also to enjoy the product of sitting with something for a record breaking amount of time for us as a band. We wrote our past two albums with this indescribable urgency, and I think ‘This Is Real’ happened while the burner was turned to low if that makes sense. I wouldn’t say this track can function as a prophecy for what our sound will become for the next album, but it’s become something no other song will ever quite compare to.”

“This Is Real” relies on the band’s signature switches between softer pop rock and hard crashes of guitar and drums, supplemented by Slocuma’s screams. It’s fun, with joking lyrics and a four count of a metronome thrown in for close listeners. While the song might not be as cohesive as their previous work, the single acts more as a culmination of every element of the band’s sound thus far, leaving the future more open than it has ever been.

Drummer Jake Kelley says: “I hope this track can function as a time capsule for our fans the same way it has for us. To me, the track is an album’s worth of ideas squished into three minutes, it’s the best out of all four of us so far.”

Guitarist/producer Sebastian Kinsler adds: “We couldn’t be more proud of the end result… just have no idea how we’ll be able to play this live.”

On that note, feeble little horse will be embarking on their seven-date EU/UK tour in June with festival appearances at Primavera Sound in Barcelona and Outbreak Festival in the UK.
