The Wytches

The Wytches are back with new track ‘Cowboy’, a welcome return and the beginnings of the band as a three-piece.

The new single follows 2016 album ‘All Your Happy Life’ and 2017 single ‘Double World, and sees the band back to their sludgy, dark and hypnotising best.

The band became a three-piece when their drummer left last year. Frontman Kristian Bell explained: “We were disheartened by the whole thing. All the work that goes into getting a band off its feet and into the public felt like something we’d have to try all over again. For a period I was losing interest. We were going through the motions but now things feel right again.”

Speaking about ‘Cowboy’, Kristian explains: “It’s a song about attempting to return to a better state of mind. ‘Cowboy’ was a holding place title as it seemed like a riff that a cowboy would enjoy. It had four or five different verses and structures before the final recorded version and by then the name had stuck.”
