Race Horses were a Welsh indie pop band known for their vibrant blend of psychedelia, pop, and folk influences, anchored by a distinctive approach to songcraft and a flair for eccentricity. Formed in Aberystwyth, Wales, the band originally went by the name 'Radio Luxembourg' but rebranded to Race Horses in 2009. They quickly garnered attention in the UK indie scene with their energetic performances and quirky, catchy tunes.

Their discography showcases a playful and experimental spirit, with albums like "Goodbye Falkenberg" drawing critical acclaim for its blend of whimsical storytelling and rich, imaginative soundscapes. The band continued to explore and evolve their sound with the "Man In My Mind EP" and singles like "Benidorm" and "Pony." Race Horses stood out for their ability to fuse Welsh-language tracks, such as "Gro Ac Oren," with their English-language work, showcasing the cultural diversity of the Welsh music scene. Despite their promise and a loyal following, Race Horses disbanded in 2013, leaving behind a legacy of inventive indie pop that still resonates with fans today.
