UK Rock'n'Rollers Wunderhorse Perform Debut New Zealand Tour
Wunderhorse's 2024 album Midas follows the band's acclaimed 2022 debut, Cub, and sets them up as one of British guitar music's most exciting outfits. Recorded at Minnesota's Pachyderm Studio (birthplace of Nirvana's In Utero and PJ Harvey's Rid Of Me) with producer Craig Silvey, the album reached #6 in the UK charts and preceded their biggest headline tour to date, as well as an arena tour support slot with Sam Fender in December.
Adopting an organic, unpolished recording process, Midas captures the visceral atmosphere of Wunderhorse's raucous live performances. "We wanted it to sound like your face is pressed up against the amp," frontman Jacob Slater told The Guardian. "No frills, no polish – just pure, uncut rock'n'roll."
Indeed, the album's rugged hooks, unfiltered noise, and fierce melodic sensitivity set Wunderhorse up for a year that will see them firmly established as an endlessly addictive and rousing generational talent.
About Wunderhorse: Wunderhorse (Jacob Slater, Harry Fowler, Peter Woodin and Jamie Staples) have seen their popularity snowball the old fashioned way; winning fans over through visceral live performances and Slater's vivid songwriting. Their 2022 debut album 'Cub' saw them graduate from raucous basements to show-stealing support tours with the likes of Fontaines D.C, Pixies, and Sam Fender, and a packed-out Glastonbury Woodsies tent – all in the space of a year. Their new single 'Midas' captures the raw power and energy that has set them apart as one of the most formidable live acts of recent years.
