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.

I thought it would just alienate people.”He added: “I stopped taking drugs and I stopped the band. The two things seemed to go hand in hand.

Wunderhorse, the solo project of former Dead Pretties frontman Jacob Slater, has released a brand new single called ’17’ – check it out below.Coming off the heels of recent tracks ‘Teal’ and ‘Poppy’, Slater’s latest offering hears him not only broaden his sonic catalogue with a melody-rich slice of Americana-kissed indie rock but also show-off his top-tier songwriting talents.Written when he was 17 (hence the title), the Wunderhorse musician said the lyrics “just kind of fell out” of him.“I remember coming back from a party and feeling a bit shit and the song just kind of fell out,” he said of the track.
