Horse Follows Darkness is the second record by Delia Gonzalez,
her follow up to the album "In Remembrance".
The title is taken from a werewolf genre film her 8 year old son
Wolfgang had created. At this time, Wolfgang also turned Delia
onto a genre of cinema she had always resisted - the American
Western.
Delia explains that what she observed "was all relevant - the
album is based on our personal experience of moving back to
America (from Berlin) and the journey that followed. The record
is a manifestation of that, and what one creates for themselves
under the given circumstances. Coming back to America, I felt
like a foreigner and NYC / America felt like the Wild West. Most
Westerns from the 1960s to the present have revisionist themes.
Many were made by emerging major filmmakers who saw the
Western as an opportunity to expand their criticism of American
society and values into
a new genre."
