Wunderhorse is the alias of British musician Jacob Slater. Jacob fronted The Dead Pretties, a London band who arrived in a haze of hedonism and hype, bowing out before the dust had time to settle. Blink and you'd have missed them. Time-stamped yet timeless. If there's any justice, he'll soon be played out live in sticky basement rooms up and down the country, limbs everywhere, sweat dripping from the walls. An absolute mess, but what a beautiful one.
"Cub" is the debut album by Wunderhorse, released in CD format by Communion. This record showcases a compelling blend of indie rock and alternative influences, marked by introspective lyrics and dynamic instrumentation. The album features standout tracks like "Teal," "Leader of the Pack," and "Butterflies," which have garnered critical acclaim for their emotional depth and raw energy. Wunderhorse is the project of British musician Jacob Slater, who previously fronted the punk band Dead Pretties before embarking on this solo venture.
