Data del tour italiano dell'UE 2025: 11.06.2025 - Milano, Italia - Magnolia
Wunderhorse are pleased to share their widely-anticipated new album, Midas, via Communion. New single ‘Arizona’ features on Midas’ tracklist alongside recent tasters ‘Rain’, ‘Silver’, ‘July’ and the eponymous title track, which kicked open the doors on the band’s new era in April last year.
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), 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.
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.”Last autumn, the band’s biggest headline shows to date saw 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 debut 2022 album 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.
Having burned himself out as the teenage frontman of the much-hyped but ultimately ill-fated punk outfit Dead Pretties, Jacob retired to Cornwall to repair the damage that he had caused himself. It was whilst working as a surf instructor on the UK’s south western perimeter that Jacob rekindled his love of songwriting: this time spinning introspective, considered compositions which transcended his younger years and went on to form the foundations of Wunderhorse.Last year, Wunderhorse filled Reading festival’s Radio 1 tent and attracted a record crowd of 7,000 to Leeds festival’s tiny BBC Introducing stage after their Radio 1 tent was demolished by weather. And just last summer we saw a Cornwall homecoming for Jacob at Boardmasters and a co-headline spot alongside Mercury-nominated duo Jockstrap at Dot to Dot festival.
