Broken Horses

“London-Based broken horses make the kind of rapturous dream pop that aligns them with Slowdive and Beach House, while also evoking the doomed romantic yearning of Mansun or The Wild Swans. Star-crossed songwriter Graham Sampson is a magnetic frontman!” – Rob Hughes, Broadcaster, Journalist

“Beautiful”. It’s the word most often used to describe the music of Graham Sampson.

Whilst a good many across the globe know Graham as the front man of The Smyths – a band who celebrate the music of The Smiths on both domestic and international stages – he has established international acclaim as a writer of songs that speak to the soul.

Sampson’s is a voice of depth and range, from soaring falsetto to dark deep bass enveloped in filmic soundscapes evoking bliss and heartbreak.

Broken Horses are Graham’s creative vision realised – A 5-piece band whose sonics thrill, excite, and take audiences to a place for reference, compared to Cocteau Twins, Cigarettes after Sex, Mazzy Star and The Delays.

Says Sampson – “I’ve always sought to make music that is beautiful. That so many people commonly use “beautiful” to describe my work means everything to me. I seek to take people from the grey that life can be and replace it with colour. Music can take us to places that only the rush of new love is equal to – or the vivid pain of love lost. Both let us know we are alive”

Broken Horses are Soul-electronica for this dream pop generation!

Broken Horses’ debut EP was released January 2025 and is available across all streaming platforms.
