Wunderhorse’s Midas: A Bold, High-Energy Triumph
Wunderhorse’s second album, Midas, is a high-energy foray that immerses listeners in its raw, unfiltered sound, deftly sidestepping the typical pitfalls of a sophomore release.
Produced by: Craig Silvey
The English four-piece band approached Midas with a clear mission: to capture the electrifying essence of their live performances by writing and recording together as a unit, with minimal overdubbing. This decision underscores their commitment to preserving the authentic spirit of rock—a choice that resonates throughout the album. The result is an album that feels organic and immediate, bursting with raw energy from start to finish. Recorded at the legendary Pachyderm Studio, where Nirvana crafted In Utero, Midas is steeped in rock history. Each day of recording was ritualized by listening to a classic album, seamlessly weaving references and influences into their work.
Produced by Craig Silvey, Midas defies the expectations typically placed on a second album. It’s mature, unassuming, and firmly places Wunderhorse in a class of their own, signaling a bright future ahead.
