Wunderhorse releases sensational
new single 'Rain'
From their widely anticipated album 'Midas'
"A masterclass in the business of evolution"
- NME
"‘Midas’ has the excitement and energy of a debut album, but the wisdom and restraint that comes from experience, making it a touchstone for what a great band can achieve."
- DIY
"Rising indie stars have their golden moment, 'Midas' is the arrival of a band that could become generational."
- Rolling Stones UK
"Wunderhorse could very well be the next great UK band. A bold statement certainly, but one bolstered by the evidence on offer."
- The Line of Best Fit
Wunderhorse are pleased to share 'Rain' from widely-anticipated new album, 'Midas' via Communion Records.
The band describes 'Rain' being about "the feeling that makes you look over your shoulder sometimes, the idea that the forces that shape your world are unaware of your existence and beyond your control,” frontman Jacob Slater explains. “Something is coming but you don’t know what it is and you can’t stop it.”
Adopting an organic, unpolished recording process, Midas is a collection which captures the visceral atmosphere of Wunderhorse’s lauded live performances. “When we first went into the studio to make this record, the only thing we were sure about is how we wanted it to sound: very imperfect, very live, very raw,” frontman Jacob Slater explains. “We wanted it to sound like your face is pressed up against the amplifiers, like you've been locked inside the bass drum.”
'Midas' follows the band’s acclaimed 2022 debut, 'Cub' and sees the band striding confidently into their role as one of British guitar music’s most exciting outfits. Cub’s campaign and the months following have seen the four-piece graduate from playing in basements and pubs to filling Glastonbury’s Woodsies tent, selling out O2 Forum Kentish Town months in advance.
This autumn, the band’s biggest headline shows to date will see Wunderhorse taking to the stage at iconic venues across the UK and Ireland, including a stop at London’s O2 Academy Brixton. As their crowds have grown exponentially in both scale and ardency, and Cub’s tracks have reached the status of cultural reference points within the younger contingents of their fanbase, it seems harder than ever to recall a time when frontman Jacob Slater believed that his career was over before his twenties had even begun.
