Wunderhorse

Wunderhorse formed in 2020, Jacob Slater — formerly of Dead Pretties, who had moved to Newquay, Cornwall after that band's disbandment — developing a sound rooted in indie rock and alternative rock that was immediately emotionally direct and melodically powerful. Slater's vocals were raw and expressive, and the band's music combined melodic directness with a lyrical depth and emotional honesty that gave them an immediate impact within the contemporary British indie scene.

'Cub' (2022) was their debut — an emotionally direct, melodically powerful indie rock record that earned strong critical acclaim and established them as one of the most impressive new British acts. Songs like 'Teal' and 'Butterflies' showed a band of genuine gifts whose combination of melodic power and emotional honesty set them apart from many of their contemporaries.

Wunderhorse have continued to record and perform, releasing 'Midas' (2024) to strong reviews. They are one of the most exciting and emotionally direct acts in contemporary British music — a band whose combination of melodic power, emotional honesty, and Slater's distinctive vocals makes them worth following closely.
