What a corker!
Another slice of lovely, plaintive yearning is here from Withered Hand ahead of the February release of the new LP, New Gods. The record will drop on the thoroughly excellent Slumberland Records in the U.S. and on Fortuna POP! in Europe and thereabouts.
"Horseshoe" is like Robert Forster singing the catchiest Grant McLennan tune you could ever imagine. It's J Mascis trying to be Neil Young covering Jeff Lynne.
This is an absolutely charming and immediately catchy tune.
Like the equally awesome "Black Tambourine", this one has Pam Berry from Black Tambourine and Glo-Worm on backing vocals.
