“The core members, best friends and songwriting partners, call themselves Falcon Bitch and Gumball and alternately claim to have met as coworkers at Cinnabon or chimney sweeps in the 1700s. Their long-gestating first album, When Horses Would Run, delivers a cheery singalong three-quarters of the way through: “We are Being Dead,” they sing in harmony, teeing up solos like giddy children. “We’re having a good time/We hope you’re having a good time, too!”
Steeped in the careening energy of surf-rock and mid-’60s Jazzmaster tones but open to any stylistic fancy that crosses Falcon Bitch and Gumball’s radar, When Horses Would Run is an unusually raucous and idea-stuffed debut. Its songs burrow into fantasies of warped Americana: a hippie cult that worships trees (“Treeland”) or a languid suburban satire (“Misery Lane”). Their theme song, “We Are Being Dead,” is the simplest thing here, but it’s reflective of the overarching sense of two weirdos ushering you into their own private world.” - Pitchfork 2023
