Wunderhorse - Midas (Zoetrope)

Wunderhorse’s sophomore album ‘Midas’ comes exclusively pressed to zoetrope picture disc, limited to 750 copies and hand-numbered to order.

The new record is filled with rugged hooks, unfiltered noise, and fierce melodic sensitivity, Midas rips up the script of traditional second albums and establishes the band as an endlessly addictive and rousing generational talent. 

Landmark performances filling Glastonbury’s Woodsies Tent (FKA John Peel Stage) and selling out London’s Kentish Town Forum months in advance followed tours with Pixies and Fontaines D.C. and stadium appearances with Sam Fender, signalling the band’s arrival as one of the most prominent and exciting new guitar acts in the UK. 

With Grammy Award-winning producer Craig Silvey (The Rolling Stones, The National, Florence and The Machine) on board for their sophomore record, the band looked to do something different. Their goal – in the very same studio that Nirvana put In Utero to tape and PJ Harvey recorded the Mercury Prize-nominated Rid of Me – was to push themselves outside of their comfort zones.

“There’s absolutely no faking on this record,” says front-man Jacob Slater, “it's not supposed to be perfect; it’s supposed to be a snapshot, even if it is a bit of an ugly portrait. That's how it was then, and that's how you're gonna see it.”
