Dark indie melodies converge with raw emotion in Wunderhorse’s haunting new track ‘Rain’ – Backseat Mafia

Wunderhorse have shared ‘Rain’: the latest single off the band’s forthcoming album, ‘Midas,’ which will arrive 30th August via Communion. Recorded at Minnesota’s Pachyderm Studio (birthplace of Nirvana’s In Utero & PJ Harvey’s Rid Of Me) with producer Craig Silvey (The Rolling Stones, The National, Florence + the Machine), ‘Midas’ is the band’s second LP, following 2022’s debut ‘Cub.’

‘Rain’ lands alongside a live recording from Wunderhorse’s November 2023 headline performance at O2 Forum Kentish Town. ‘Rain’ is the kind of track that makes you want to dance in the drizzle, blending catchy rhythms with lyrics that dig deep beneath the surface.

“Rain is about the feeling that makes you look over your shoulder sometimes, the idea that the forces that shape your world are unaware of your existence and beyond your control. Something is coming but you don’t know what it is and you can’t stop it.” – Jacob Slater

Wunderhorse are set to perform some headline shows which will see them step into bigger, iconic venues, which include a stop at London’s O2 Academy Brixton.
