WUNDERHORSE REEL US IN WITH ‘THE ROPE’
Wunderhorse are proud to share new single ‘The Rope’, following a sold-out UK tour which culminated in a triumphant stop at Alexandra Palace and the band’s debut appearance on Jools Holland.
‘The Rope’ came together just weeks before Wunderhorse embarked on their biggest headline shows to date last month. Conceived and recorded in a flash at London's RAK Studios with producer Loren Humphrey, the track mirrors the ethos of spontaneity and urgency present throughout recent album Midas.
Midas was recorded at Minnesota’s Pachyderm Studio (birthplace of Nirvana’s In Utero & PJ Harvey’s Rid Of Me) with producer Craig Silvey (The Rolling Stones, The National, Florence + the Machine), and follows the band’s acclaimed 2022 debut, Cub. Released in August last year, the record saw the band striding confidently into their role as one of British guitar music’s most exciting outfits.
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.”
