I Break Horses is a Swedish indie rock band composed of Maria Lindén and Fredrik Balck. The band’s name is taken from the title of a Bill Callahan song. The Guardian music critic Hermione Hoby described their music as “heady, sumptuously textured soundscapes”, while Pitchfork music critic Ian Cohen comments that they “immerse themselves in homemade shoegaze, the kind that’s made by computers for computers. It’s an approach and sound that’s crossed language barriers for the past 20 or so years as bands strive to approximate Loveless without the benefit of a label they can bankrupt in the process.”.
