History

Following an eponymous, self-released 2012 EP, the band issued the Heavenly Choir of Jet Engines EP on Cranes Records later that year,[5][6] as well as a split 10" EP with the Dead Mantra.[7]

In 2012, Dead Horse One joined the Dead Bees Records roster and was featured on the label's 11th and 12th sampler compilations.[8][9][10] They also appeared on two compilations from Nothing Collective[11]

Dead Horse One's first full-length effort, Without Love We Perish, was produced by Mark Gardener of Ride.[12] It was first issued in March 2014[13] in CD format by Hands and Moment (Japan)[14] and on vinyl by A Quick One Records (France)[15] On January 22, 2015, it was reissued on vinyl by Les Disques De La Face Cachée/Dead Bees Records.[16]

The band's second album, Season of Mist, was released in February 2017.[17]
