MT. WOLF

Praised for their forward thinking dream-pop stylings, today, Mt. Wolf announce their return with the release of the stunning new single 'Tayrona' featuring the flawless vocals of Tamsin Wilson of stand-out indie trio Wilsen. The first single from a forthcoming collaborative project to be released on Akira Records, Mt. Wolf have promised to deliver a steady stream of music throughout 2020.

Featuring a mellifluous guitar melody, whilst Wilsen's vocals take centre stage, 'Tayrona', is delicately produced with lush harmonies, adding to the dreamlike soundscape of the folk masterpiece. Speaking about how the track came together, Stevie shares, "this track was birthed in the studio with Henry Green who has helped produce the song with us - one of the most talented producers I’ve ever met. We’ve been big fans of Wilsen for a long time and have always loved Tamsin’s vocal.

Once we came up with this instrumental idea we sent it to her, luckily she loved it and was happy to write some vocals on it. As soon as we started writing again we felt incredibly excited. Working on this project has been so refreshing and we are having a great time collaborating with some very talented friends of ours." Further discussing the how the lyrical content came together, Tamsin of Wilsen explains "the instrumental track lead me to think of sun glitter, setting the tone for a contemplative coastal story of a relationship that ended as quickly as it began.

The vocals were inspired by a phrase I overheard, "Staying together was meant to be easy." Equally earnest, melancholy, and accepting." The first single since the release of the band's debut album 'Aetherlight', the release is a shining example of why Mt. Wolf have had so much success to date. Debuting in 2013 and igniting the dream-folk genre movement with the release of their first single 'Life Size Ghosts', Mt. Wolf quickly became one of the UK's most talked about bands.

After releasing the Red EP in 2015 to critical acclaim once more, the band's presence across the world grew exponentially, leading to radio support in the UK, US, Australia and Germany. Releasing their debut album 'Aertherlight' in 2017. Within their first year, the band sold out headline shows around London at prestigious venues including Corsica Studios, XOYO, Union Chapel and Heaven, before going on to perform on at premier festivals The Great Escape, SXSW and the holy grail of festivals, Glastonbury.
