Impressed proudly presents the Australian exclusive vinyl edition of Midas, the acclaimed sophomore album from British rock group Wunderhorse.

One of our favourite albums of 2024.

Echoes of early Radiohead, Nirvana, and Pixies run through their sound, but what you’ll hear is something entirely new. Wunderhorse were only formed in 2020, but there's something deeply nostalgic about their sound, which makes it an easy favourite at Impressed.

Midas has a visceral sound and energy threaded throughout, elements that have been key to the formation of the broader Wunderhorse sonic identity. 

Recorded at Pachyderm Studio in Minnesota, Wunderhorse found themselves recording their second album in the studio that created Nirvana’s In Utero and PJ Harvey’s Rid Of Me. Working with acclaimed producer Craig Silvey (The Rolling Stones, The National, Florence + The Machine), Midas is a strong follow-up to the debut album from Wunderhorse, 2022’s CUB.

“When we first went into the studio to make this record, the only thing we were sure about is how we wanted it to sound: very imperfect, very live, very raw. We wanted it to sound like your face is pressed up against the amplifiers, like you’ve been locked inside the bass drum.” - Jacob Slater, Wunderhorse frontman

Title-track and focus single Midas represents this energy with precision and finesse. A great example of the Wunderhouse dynamic and power, the pacing of the single is insatiable, as is the instrumentation and delivery.

Similarly the music video for the track, directed by Polocho in London, nails the rawness of Midas.

The rise of Wunderhorse in the UK has seen the band grow from being a personal project of Slater’s, into one of the region’s most exciting new bands. With over 1.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify and consistent support via editorial playlists including Spotify’s The Rock List, All New Rock, MARROW; as well as Apple Music’s New Music Daily playlist, Wunderhorse have been captivating a global audience.

Performances at world-renowned festivals including Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Lowlands and Pukkelpop have solidified the reputation of Wunderhorse throughout Europe. Earning their stripes across tours with artists including Fontaines D.C., Sam Fender, Foals and Pixies, Wunderhorse have consistently been growing their sphere of influence.

Wunderhorse are currently on tour, and will be in playing in Australia, NZ and the UK. Tickets here.

"just when you think you’ve heard just about all the retro-Nineties indie-guitar recombinations you need in one lifetime, these U.K. malcontents come up with one so ingenious, and yet so palm-smacking-forehead obvious it seems criminal no one’s thought of it before. To wit: 'Midas', the title track from their great second album, sounds like Nirvana’s In Utero crossed with Radiohead’s The Bends. And it bangs like Hades. That’s it. That’s the retro-Nineties indie-guitar recombination. Sometimes it really is the simple things. "
