Who could’ve guessed that the finest folk-rock band in recent memory would hail from Norwich? Known mostly for … honestly, I don’t know what they’re known for aside from a sadly mediocre football team competing with neighboring Ipswich.

Well, Brown Horse is just the band you’ve been looking for. They’ve got a couple of really strong albums under their belt, and their new singles are seriously on fire. “Sorrow Reigns,” the second one from their forthcoming album Total Dive (out April 10 on Loose Music), is a standout. If you appreciate the warm, rugged guitar glow of Magnolia Electric Co.; the vocal interplay of Richard and Linda Thompson; ’90s indie; and ’70s country-rock, you’ll have a good sense of the terrain. The result is a beautifully balanced cocktail of rugged Americana and British folk-rock.

This is music for dreaming of endless prairie highways, only to wake up broke and heartbroken in a parking lot outside Tesco.
