The Wytches are BACK, revealing brand new number ‘Cowboy’
Nearly four years on from the release of their second album ‘All Your Happy Life’, ‘Cowboy’ is a welcoming crescendo back into their world – more ramshackle and hypnotising than ever before but packing that underbelly of darkness that made The Wytches such buzzy favourites
Back feeling “re-energised and rejuvenated”, frontman Kristian Bell explains how their drummer leaving left them at a crossroads. “We were disheartened by the whole thing. All the work that goes into getting a band off its feet and into the public felt like something we’d have to try all over again. For a period I was losing interest. We were going through the motions but now things feel right again.”
Speaking about ‘Cowboy’, Kristian explains: “It’s a song about attempting to return to a better state of mind. ‘Cowboy’ was a holding place title as it seemed like a riff that a cowboy would enjoy. It had 4 or 5 different verses and structures before the final recorded version and by then the name had stuck.”
