This is so great. Loving the harmonies and vocals

I would call this much more pop than I would rock, but it's nice nonetheless.

Really loving the vocal work on this track. The backup is so subtle and effective, and everything sounds so warm. Check out my track 'Avenall' if you get a chance. Be well!

Choir Of Echoes

Longest Day Of The Year Blues

"Horseshoe" is the first single from Withered Hand's album "New Gods," and features a guest appearance from Pam Berry (Black Tambourine) on backing vocals.

Fortuna POP! (UK/Europe) and Slumberland Records (US/Canada) are proud to announce the new album by the Edinburgh based folk-rock troubadour Dan Willson who records as WITHERED HAND. “New Gods” is his stunning second album, following his critically acclaimed debut “Good News”.

Active in the world of visual art and dabbling in music for many years, Withered Hand’s Dan Willson came late to singing and songwriting at age 30, in a period of reflection between the death of a close friend and the birth of his first child. The resultant material, much of which went on to become the album “Good News,” has been praised for its depth and startling honesty.

Withered Hand has been embraced by Fife-based musical powerhouse the Fence Collective (whose sovereign King Creosote guests on the new album), seen his songs picked up on MTV and cult series Skins, and gained a legion of fans including Jarvis Cocker and Rolling Stone Magazine USA (who decreed him “Artist to Watch”).

A prolific live performer, recent Withered Hand shows have included collaborations with Pam Berry of seminal 90's US noise-pop band Black Tambourine and a rotating cast of musical friends embellishing Dan's exuberant and original songwriting alongside fragile and uplifting solo performances.

The long-awaited second album (produced by Tony Doogan – Mountain Goats/Belle & Sebastian etc - and part-funded by arts council body Creative Scotland) features guest appearances from the likes of Pam Berry, Eugene Kelly of The Vaselines and members of Belle & Sebastian and Frightened Rabbit.

The five years since “Good News” was recorded has seen Willson honing his songcraft, building his audience and gaining critical momentum. “New Gods” is a beautifully executed collection of songs from one of Scotland’s most gifted songwriters.

“Beautifully constructed lyrical frameworks ... on this banjo-tinged brand of Caledonian gospel” – **** MOJO

“the UK’s best lyricist” – King Creosote, in The Independent

“Killer melodies ... wobbly folk grooves ... tunes full of warm, woozy sing-song charm” – 'Artist to Watch', Rolling Stone

stuck in my pictures you got awful inserts
oh my heart and it hurts ill fall of the damn earth 
i still got your pictures i wont fail to miss ya 
and you got a mister im still texting with ya 
so whats the issue you dont see what i want you just wanna have fun the parties never really done 
or ever fun or ever fun 
and if the bloods the issue you might need a tissue 
tried all to heal you but nothing is right through 
i cant help to heal cause im troubled and im like you 
i cant help but i try and im flawed im like you 
i cant help but learn now i was taught like a dog ill bite you watch you hurt and ill leave u lone 
stuck in my pictures you got awful inserts
oh my heart and it hurts ill fall of the damn earth 
i still got your pictures i wont fail to miss ya 
and you got a mister im still texting with ya 
so whats the issue you dont see what i want you just wanna have fun the parties never really done 
or ever fun or ever fun
