The music on Horse Lords' Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! Feels both impossibly detailed and eminently human. The twelve pieces assembled are layered, interwoven, tonally and rhythmically complex-moiré-like patterns of interaction and tessellation that play out for both mind and body, full of sonic warrens with an inescapable groove. Artists aren't necessarily scientists, logicians, or spiritual leaders, but through their personal understanding of order and experience, they provide experiential access to heightened states of both materiality and immateriality. Horse Lords were founded in Baltimore in 2010; they evolved from another group called Teeth Mountain and began as a trio with guitarist Owen Gardner, bassist Max Eilbacher, drummer Sam Haberman, soon adding alto saxophonist Andrew Bernstein to the core ensemble. Though the quartet grew out of a fertile noise and experimental rock scene, a storied environment for artists and weirdos that has nurtured many an influential outsider band, their approach across six albums, various collaborations and as a celebrated live act has been more omnivorous than the stippled rhythms of instrumental electric rock would indicate. For this outing, they are augmented by bass clarinetist Madison Greenstone, trombonist Weston Olencki, and in a first for Horse Lords, vocals courtesy Nina Guo and Evelyn Saylor. Constructing D2BT2HA! #involved geographic hurdles, as the unit's four members have live in different cities. Gardner, Eilbacher, and Bernstein met in Berlin for tracking sessions while Haberman put together drum parts in Baltimore. The band notes that "trusting each other's concepts and visions was more important than repeatedly playing a section to see if the music worked, although this trust was only made possible through working very closely together." D2BT2HA! #influences and interacts with itself in complex linkages. Horse Lords observe that "we like the idea of art as a tool for changing your perspective, being able to rotate ideas and see/hear/feel them from a different vantage point." Or to use a phrase attributed to Swami Satchidananda Saraswati, "understanding is standing under where you are already standing." The opening piece, "Eureka 378-B," is an arrangement of 19th century sacred harp music, lead by Guo and Saylor's vocals; it's melody flowers outward, setting a tonal launching pad for much of the music that follows. There are the brief "Rotations," which isolate fragments from other pieces; and "a transformation algorithm was used to structure the title track, 'Brain of the Firm,' and part of 'Second Galactic Utopia.' This lends itself to a recursive approach where... The compositional scale becomes more ambiguous." There's clearly a lot of weight in the language used to title pieces, and D2BTA2H! #is no exception-transcendence and uplift are inherent in the music's operation and if all art is political, Horse Lords' leanings are optimistic and community-centered. Transformation and re-viewing are not just a compositional strategy but a philosophical outlook. As they put it, "we try to make music that challenges the status quo and offers a path toward liberation for the listener. The study and exploration of sound and music has a spiritual and ecstatic dimension, and we have a great reverence for it's impact on the individual and the world." The tension between striving for something beyond and what constitutes our lived reality is not lost, either, as "After the Last Sky" draws from poet Mahmoud Darwish's "The Earth Is Closing in on Us," which "uses the Palestinian case to problematize our utopian quest, acknowledging that this rests on a sense of security that is out of reach for many." There are numerous sonic and conceptual layers in D2BTA2H!, but given the music's undeniable power and humanity, the process of unpacking them is enthusiastic and deeply rewarding. Rare indeed is the record that grabs one by the lapels yet lands utterly anew on each hearing.

Durable bone that you can add a spreadable treat to
Color: Blue
Our German Shepherd was 4 months old when we purchased this. She’s going to be 6 months soon. She has been teething really bad. We wanted some way to sooth her pain. This product was just what we needed. We put it in the freezer with some peanut butter in the center on both sides. Once frozen we give to our puppy. She loves it. When we open the freezer she recognizes the ziplock package that it was delivered in which we store it in our freezer. She jumps around until we give it to her. She loves it and it keeps her occupied for a while. It is very durable. I did not notice any smell when we received it. It does not make any noise. The plastic material is safe for animals. To clean I put in the dishwasher. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because sometimes the peanut butter gets stuck in it and may need to go through the dishwasher twice which is not a big deal. Or you can hand wash it. I found the dishwasher was best for us. You do not even have to put anything on it, but our pup likes it. I would recommend to others.

Actually indestructible!
Style: Two pack
I am always leery of items marked indestructible because my 100+ lb. dog chews through anything I buy him. But not this. It's solid plastic that he LOVES to chew on. And I love that there are 2 of them so he can have them in alternative places to play with. The shape and texture seems to entice him and keep him occupied for a few minutes, which is a blessing!
