Westside Cowboy have announced their sophomore EP.
The five-song 'So Much Country ‘Till We Get There' will arrive through their new label home at Island imprint Adventure Recordings on January 16, following up this year's debut, 'This Better Be Something Great'.
As a preview, the Manchester-based Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition winners have shared the single, Don't Throw Rocks, which combines slow-building Americana influences with jittery post-punk elements. The band said:
"This started life as a fuzzy drum machine demo that Jimmy made in his bedroom and eventually made its way into the practice room ahead of our first headline at Castle Hotel.
"We tried it really fast and loud, with a new order disco beat across the entire thing basically. We finished it and were like ‘ This is good, right?’… none of us were really convinced. We were about to call it when we thought we’d have one last go. We kept the tempo but took the emphasis off of the snare and hats and instead onto the floor tom and its rims. This changed the feeling of the song a lot. All of a sudden, instead the song just being this two minute fog horn blare, it was now rumbling along and building.
"Jimmy’s lyrics on this deal a lot in time and change, and how it, more often than not, moves out of our control and without niceties. We wanted the music to reflect this too. With each section, we wanted to add a new gear, to increase the intensity until it couldn’t be held onto anymore. I guess that’s where the outro comes in. This felt like the natural first single for So Much Country…, we all kinda knew once we’d heard it back."
The four-piece are currently supporting Black Country, New Road across Europe ahead of their own UK tour dates next month, and early next year. Tickets are on sale now.
