"Devil(e)durge", recorded during the summer of 2007 by Stacy Lloyd Brown is Fall Horsie's second full-length album, and his first to be released on Youth Club Records.

The album is ambitious and orchestral, psychedelic (sans-distortion)and has classical elements filtered from the mind of a self-taught composer with a love of words.

Caught on tape for CBC Television's "East Coast Sessions" songs from Fall Horsie's second full-length effort will be put on display in a sneaky peak of this fall's heavily anticipated release.
