Wunderhorse has announced his debut album, 'Cub'

Wunderhorse has announced his debut album.

Titled 'Cub', it's set to land on 16th September via Communion Records and will feature all of his releases to date, including current single 'Butterflies'.

Revealing the record, the former Dead Pretties man explains how the music he wanted to make wouldn't fit with his former band.

“I was tired of having to get up on stage and pretend I wanted to throw myself around and smash things up every night and sing these intense songs,” he says. “They were good songs, but I didn’t think we’d be able to transition into doing the more introspective music that I wanted to make. I thought it would just alienate people.”

“I stopped taking drugs and I stopped the band. The two things seemed to go hand in hand. I thought if I carried on with the band, I wouldn’t be able to not keep doing that to myself,“ he continues. “There’s the old myth that you need to take a load of drugs to be really creative, but I was much more creative when I wasn’t taking drugs. I wanted to love that part of myself again and I wanted to fall back in love with music again.”

Wundergouse is set to headline London's Lafayette on 20th October. Tickets go on sale this Friday, 10th June at 10am.
