New Idea Society Sign With Relapse Records, Premiere “Dancing Horse” Video

Indie rock/post-hardcore outfit New Idea Society have officially inked a deal with Relapse Records ahead of their upcoming fourth studio album, Fire On The Hill, set for release on May 15th. The band, anchored by Stephen Brodsky (Cave In, etc.) and Mike Law (Wild Arrows, Euclid), debuted their first single from the record, “Dancing Horse,” alongside an official music video directed by Caleb Gowett.

Mike Law reflected on the song’s long journey:

“Part of ‘Dancing Horse‘ first appeared all the way back in 2007 and it took a lot of forms over the years that never quite worked. Then out of nowhere it arrived somehow fully re-formed and totally realized into one of my favorite songs I’ve ever been a part of. The original idea started on an August night in Budapest and was tied together one August morning in 2024 back in Massachusetts. It was one of those moments where Steve reached deep and found something that had been floating around in another universe and brought it to ours.”

Stephen Brodsky added:

“I remember listening to Mike’s original demo for ‘Dancing Horse‘—it was a shoegaze thing with one lyric that shone brightly through the sonic haze: ‘There’s a dancing horse on my roof.’ My fiancé had just hung a horseshoe above the front door of our home. A native Texan, she explained that a horseshoe points up to catch luck and then flips over to rain it down… suddenly, that one line from the demo spawned a whole other thing in my head. I’m grateful that Mike was receptive to me taking a brilliant seed of his imagination and going off to the races with it.”
