Today we are pleased to join forces with White Noise Maker for the premiere of his new single “Don’t They Shoot Horses”, a track that explores the quiet shock that many of us go through when we realize domesticity and suburban desire has surreptitiously replaced “Franks Wild Years,” so to speak. Devin comments “When one who used to agonize constantly over whose couch one could surf on for a few months (due to lack of upward mobility and artistically questionable life choices) now finds themself scrolling through lanai furniture with their significant other via Wayfair.com’s ample selection, one does tend to, even briefly, feel a strange, misplaced remorse for the past and paths diverted to arrive at this seemingly stable moment.”
The song pushes a little further on this thought asking whether all the brushed-metal appliances and lemon-scented Yankee candles are enough to replace youth’s semi-vapid fantasies of fortune and glory. Additionally, when did our indefatigable “run for the roses” become a long limp towards the inevitable “greener pastures”?
The title is pulled from the 1969 Sydney Pollack-directed ”They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” The film focuses on a group of desperate characters suffering through a Depression-era dance marathon. So if you’re looking for a light-hearted-date-night-movie, by all means stream this peppy little gem.
Devin Moore, the Seattle-based producer/artist/songwriter behind the moniker White Noise Maker, is a veteran of many different facets of the music industry. He’s founded and fronted Florida based alt-rock band named bloom., and shared the stage with luminaries like Dinosaur Jr, Guided By Voices, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. As cofounder of Rock Salt Music he’s written for hundreds of local, regional, and national TV shows and movies. As a member of family friendly kids project Rabbit!, Moore has released a catalog of songs about vegetables, jellybeans, ladybugs, and general positivity. Through a chance meeting with former CEO of Zappos, Tony Hesih, Moore and Rabbit! partner Ashton Allen were brought into the “Downtown Project” revitalization in Las Vegas, building assets that could help the music scene flourish.
