Wunderhorse announce that their new album, Midas, arrives on August 30th via Communion/Mick Music. Ahead of the album’s arrival, the UK band have shared “July.” Midas was recorded at Minnesota’s Pachyderm Studio with producer Craig Silvey (The National, Florence + the Machine). Wunderhorse includes vocalist Jacob Slater, guitarist Harry Fowler, drummer Jamie Staples and bassist Peter Woodin. This summer the band play Dot to Dot, Reading, Leeds Festivals and more.

frontman Jacob Slater on Midas:

“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; no frills. We wanted it to sound like your face is pressed up against the amplifiers, like you’ve been locked inside the bass drum.”

Having burned himself out as the teenage frontman of the much-hyped, but ultimately ill-fated punk outfit Dead Pretties, Slater had 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 coast that Slater rekindled his love of songwriting, ultimately spinning the introspective compositions that went on to form the foundations of Wunderhorse. Having spent a period thinking that his life as musician may be over, it was the strength of the songs – and the immediate response to them from fans – that re-energized Slater.
