Wunderhorse have shared their reflective new single ‘Silver’ from their forthcoming second album ‘Midas’.Opening with crisp guitar chords, ‘Silver’ sees frontman Jacob Slater sing: “Yeah I was crooked from the cradle / I’m a bastard from the start / And I kept some pretty people / In the hollow of my heart,” reflecting on himself.According to a press release, the song nearly didn’t make it onto ‘Midas’ due to it feeling out of place with the LP. The band – comprised of Slater, guitarist Harry Fowler, drummer Jamie Staples and bassist Pete Woodin – eventually stripped back the song while working in Pachyderm Studios in Minnesota and found its final form.Speaking about ‘Silver’ in a press release, Slater said: “The song is about that ugly side of yourself that you try to keep a secret, but you know it’s there because it makes your skin crawl sometimes.

Wunderhorse have shared their bluesy new single ‘Midas’ – check it out below.The track opens with a crisp guitar riff and sees frontman Jacob Slater sing/speak: “The voice inside the suit came crawling through the telephone / Somewhere between the cheeseboard and a nursery rhyme / I heard the rattlesnake shaking in his invitation / And the whites of his knuckles on the other end of the line”, his voice reminiscent of Bob Dylan.Speaking about the creation of the song in a press release, Slater said: “The song was written in a bathtub in Paris, and forgotten about until it resurfaced in Minnesota. Midas is the guy who makes you feel like a pencil stub, all used up and nothing to show for it, but it’s always just business as far as he’s concerned.”Directed, shot and edited by Polocho, the accompanying music video sees the band performing the song in a dark room while a man in a business suit is crafting a baby doll in a scary office looking room.The track marks the band’s first release following their 2022 debut album ‘Cub‘.
