Petey USA – “Save For The Horses”

Back in May, Petey USA continued to explore his mix of emo, heartland rock, and electronics on the new single "Kiss The City." He's since given us the bummed-out synth-pop slow-build "Like A Mantra," and now there's a third new self-produced track.

This week's "Save For The Horses" turns the tempo back up but keeps the contemplative posture as Petey paints a portrait of a certain Type Of Guy. The track is strewn with zany samples and bars like "I think that I'm way smarter than my therapist" but carried by Petey's heart-on-sleeve vocals. The end result is something like the Postal Service if their vibe was a bit more Warped Tour, which works a lot better in execution than in theory.
