Horse Jumper Of Love – “Orange Peeler” [Video]

Horse Jumper of Love Finally Give “Orange Peeler” the Video It Always Deserved

To mark the 10th anniversary of their beloved self-titled debut, the Boston slowcore trio share a new video and a remastered deluxe edition packed with 13 bonus tracks of unreleased songs, demos, and alternate versions.

Sometimes the best art happens when no one is paying attention. Horse Jumper of Love’s self-titled debut was written in a basement with the lowest expectations, quietly released on Bandcamp and tape in 2016, and has since become a genuine slowcore classic. A decade on, the band are honoring it properly: a remastered and expanded deluxe edition arrives via Run For Cover Records, and alongside it comes the music video for “Orange Peeler” that vocalist Dimitri Giannopoulos has had on his to-do list for thirteen years.

The video mixes footage from past tours, a live session from 2013, and present-day footage from Giannopoulos himself. It’s a fitting tribute to an album that was never supposed to matter this much, from a band that has watched their scrappy basement recordings quietly reshape a generation of indie rock. Traces of the self-titled can now be heard in They Are Gutting a Body of Water, Teethe, Shallowater, and a long list of others who found something essential in those smudged, aching songs.

The deluxe edition remasters the original nine tracks and adds a second disc of thirteen previously unheard songs, alternate versions, and demos, along with a booklet of handwritten guitar tabs, archival photos, and special packaging. It’s a lovingly assembled portrait of that particular moment: a teenager in a basement, nineteen years old, with no expectations and something true to say.
