The emerging British band Wunderhorse makes their big return with their new album “Midas”. A highly anticipated album, following the success of their debut “Cub” released in 2022 and the long tour that followed, notably opening for established artists such as Fontaines D.C., Pixies, Sam Fender, Foals... In fact, they will accompany Fontaines D.C. on their entire arena tour across Europe in October. “I want to make you feel like you’re there, in the room, with us.” And in 10 songs and 40 minutes, Wunderhorse captures the raw power and energy that have made them one of the most formidable bands of recent years. With rough hooks, unfiltered noise and a fierce melodic sensibility, “Midas” tears up the script of the traditional second album and establishes the band as a generational talent that is endlessly addictive and exciting. At the end of 2022, the release of their debut album “Cub” saw the singles “Purple” and “Leader of the Pack” dominate the airwaves. Standout shows filled Glastonbury’s Woodsies Tent (FKA John Peel Stage) and sold out London’s Kentish Town Forum months in advance, after tours with Pixies and Fontaines D.C. and stadium appearances with Sam Fender, signaling the band’s arrival as one of the UK’s most prominent and exciting new guitar bands. With Grammy Award-winning producer Craig Silvey (The Rolling Stones, The National, Florence + The Machine) on board for their second album, the band set out to do something different. Their goal - in the same studio where Nirvana recorded “In Utero” and where PJ Harvey recorded “Rid of Me” (Mercury Prize-nominated) - was to step out of their comfort zone. “There is absolutely no cheating on this record,” Slater concludes, “it’s not meant to be perfect; it’s meant to be a snapshot, even if it’s a slightly ugly portrait. That’s how it was at the time, and that’s how you’ll see it.” And it feels like you’re there, in the room, with them.
