Wunderhorse - Midas
With rugged hooks, unfiltered noise, and fierce melodic sensitivity, Midas rips up
the script of traditional second albums and establishes the band as an endlessly
addictive and rousing generational talent.
In late 2022, the release of their debut album Cub saw singles 'Purple' and 'Leader
of the Pack' dominate radio airwaves. Landmark performances flling
Glastonbury's Woodsies Tent (FKA John Peel Stage) and selling out London's
Kentish Town Forum months in advance followed tours with Pixies and Fontaines
D.C. and stadium appearances with Sam Fender, signalling the band's arrival as
one of the most prominent and exciting new guitar acts in the UK.
With Grammy Award- winning producer Craig Silvey (The Rolling Stones, The
National, Florence + The Machine) on board for their sophomore record, the band
looked to do something different. Their goal - in the very same studio that Nirvana
put In Utero to tape and PJ Harvey recorded the Mercury Prize-nominated Rid of
Me - was to push themselves outside of their comfort zones.
