Details:
The City and Horses is the work of Brooklyn songwriter and former "Cosby Show" extra (Season 7, Episodes 25 & 26) Marc Cantone. While firmly steeped in the indie tradition, Marc’s songs traverse many genres of pop: from twee to power to psychedelic to chamber to folk to lo-fi. The common threads are Marc’s idiosyncratic vocals, often accompanied by surprising harmonies, and clever and heartfelt lyrics that marry the sardonic wit of Stephen Merritt with the sympathetic wist of Stuart Murdoch.
The City and Horses have been performing live for a little over a year and have become a New York City indie staple, playing monthly at prominent venues including Cake Shop, Arlene’s Grocery, Pete’s Candy Store, Glasslands Gallery, and Union Hall. Through the band’s popularity on MySpace, Marc was invited to perform in comedian Charlyne Yi’s Music Box at the UCB Theater in Los Angeles with Alden Penner from The Unicorns and Honus Honus from Man Man.
"I Don''t Want to Dream"''s “I Miss It All” will be featured in the score for "Paper Hearts," a film starring Charlyne Yi and Michael Cera set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival next year. Another one of Marc’s songs, “Holy Shit This is Manhattan,” will be used in a web-promo for Jessica Simpson’s latest product line.
"I Don’t Want to Dream" is the debut LP from The City and Horses. The album was recorded and produced by John Davis and Aaron Nevesie (who have worked with Ambulance, LTD., James Iha, Jojo Mayer, and Doug Gillard) at The Bunker Studio in Brooklyn, NY. Brooklyn label White Shoe Records will kick off 2009 with a January 6 LP release date.
Advance notice for "I Don’t Want to Dream":
In Big Takeover #63, Executive Editor Mick Lewis writes, “I Don’t Want to Dream [kicks] off in grand style with ‘A Thousand Lashes,’ a Kafka-esque curlicue on crimes of passion that is whipped with an irrepressible guitar riff, and visis twee indie pop in ‘Little Finland,’ early dB’s power pop on ‘Russian Military Badges,’ Belle & Sebastian-style self-analysis on the intersection between love and work on ‘Your Father’s Factory,’ and Eastern Bloc emigrants on the clever, charming, and catchy ‘I’ll Marry You (East Beats West).’ This is one City where you needn’t dream of perfect idiosyncratic pop; it’s yours for the taking. Giddy-up!”
https://www.tradebit.com says I Don’t Want to Dream is “a year round pleasure, a gentle stroll that’ll bring some order to your chaotic life. Take ‘I Love The Girls’ for example and realize that life’s simple pleasures has a brand new addition.”
