To commemorate the anniversary of their acclaimed album, Disaster Trick, Horse Jumper of Love has announced a Deluxe Edition scheduled for release on October 24th via Run For Cover Records. The new collection expands on the band’s artistic vision, offering fans deep insight into the songwriting process with previously unreleased material. This includes raw demos of album cuts like “Snow Angel,” intriguing alternate versions such as “Wink,” and never-before-heard B-sides.
Simultaneously, the band has shared “Mansion,” a previously unheard track originating from the original Disaster Trick sessions recorded in Asheville, North Carolina, with producer Alex Farrar (known for his work with Wednesday and Indigo De Souza). The song exemplifies the trio’s signature style, which expertly combines expansive, dreamlike arrangements with satisfyingly abrasive guitar textures. The Disaster Trick Deluxe Edition will be available digitally and also marks the first time the album will be released on CD.
Vocalist Dimitri Giannopoulos states,
‘Mansion’ is a song that started back in the self-titled days (2014/15 -ish). I remember being into the early Swans stuff back then and it had a pretty direct influence on the guitar and drums. I always regret not recording it when I was 20, so I could have tapped into the youthful rawness the self-titled album has. In the studio Jamie, John and I knew how to play it right away even though we hadn’t thought about it in almost eight years. That’s a cool part about being in a band together for so long – the collective memory we share that allowed us to record something that was almost abandoned. The song only existed in our minds that whole time, no demos or anything.
