Lyrics:
billet spied
bolt sped
across the field
crows fled
aloft and wounded
left one dead

lover killer
at the wall in the mirror

on the one side I can dream my future
on the other I can feel my nature

inside myself I have a moment to choose
to hold or to refuse
to shoot or to let loose
the cawing crow the pulsing throat

lover killer
at the wall in the mirror

on the one side I can dream my future
on the other I can feel my nature

I am a lover and a killer

My Brightest Diamond, "Lover/Killer"

Droplex - Psychological Attack (Original Mix)

The long awaited second album New Gods by WITHERED HAND (aka Edinburgh based folk-rock troubadour Dan Willson), released in March 2014 via Fortuna POP! (UK/Europe) and Slumberland (US/Canada). The eleven meditations on love, fidelity and transience therein see Willson’s songwriting hit dizzying heights: by turns confessional and melancholy, raucous and life-affirming; his trademark dark humour turned down a wee notch; life, in all its many facets, turned up to full.
Active in the world of visual art and dabbling in music for many years, 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, was praised for its depth and startling honesty, and won him accolades from the likes of Rolling Stone and Mojo, as well as fans from Jarvis Cocker to Marc Riley. The ensuing years saw him embraced by the now defunct Fife-based musical powerhouse the Fence Collective and his songs picked up by MTV and cult series Skins.
A prolific live performer, recent Withered Hand shows have included Pam Berry of seminal 90s US noisepop band Black Tambourine (who also contributes vocals to the new album) amid a rotating cast of musical friends embellishing Dan's exuberant and original songwriting, alongside his fragile and uplifting solo performances.
Aided by a grant from arts council body Creative Scotland, New Gods saw Withered Hand entering a proper studio for the first time to work with legendary Scottish producer Tony Doogan (Belle & Sebastian, Mogwai, Mountain Goats, Teenage Fanclub), and features guest appearances from a veritable who's who of Scottish music including King Creosote, Eugene Kelly of The Vaselines, and members of Belle & Sebastian (Stevie Jackson, Chris Geddes) and Frightened Rabbit (Scott Hutchison).
Across the eleven songs on New Gods, Willson deals with the big stuff: love, death, friendship, infidelity, road trips, stargazing and cough mixture abuse. First single proper, the magnificent ‘Horseshoe’, kicks off proceedings with its plaintive entreaty “Please don’t put a shadow on her lung”. Love and the fear of loss is the theme here. “Nobody you love will ever die,” sings Dan. It’s followed by the album taster track ‘Black Tambourine’, the purest pop song on the album, an anti-hipster anthem that jangles in all the right places. ‘King Of Hollywood’ details a night in LA with Willson’s friend and mentor King Creosote, Willson’s keen eye for detail as hilarious as ever, while title track ‘New Gods’ sees him transported to Switzerland, cutting across the fields at night and staring up at the Milky Way, like a huge ribbon across the sky, infinitely beautiful and humbling. This is widescreen pop music.
The five years since Good News was recorded has seen Willson honing his craft, building his audience and gaining critical momentum. The new album is a beautifully executed collection of songs from one of Scotland’s most gifted songwriters.

"King Creosote, Eugene Kelly and members of Belle & Sebastian bring deep-pile, micro-orchestration to the sardonic, wistful, always finely wrought songs" (Mojo, 4/5) 

“As fine a lyricist as the Isles have produced in many a year… an accomplished and polished album” (God Is In The TV, 5/5)

“New Gods affirms Willson’s superlative abilities” – (The Skinny, 4/5)

“Wilson is still a charmed, charming fuck-up of the first order” (Drowned In Sound, 8/10)

“Endlessly lovable stuff… zings with Teenage Fanclub-ish exuberance.” (NME, 8/10)

“An album to sink into the heart” (The Scotsman, 5/5)

“The UK’s best lyricist” – King Creosote

Anna of the North - Sway

Before the full installment of JAW’s collaborative project for Circus Company ‘MIDTOWN’, let us whet your appetites with an EP featuring a kaleidoscopic handful of teasers. Contributing artists such as Canadian renegades Art Department, Berlin DJ/producer and Bar25 Alumni Britta Arnold, Dirtybird kingpin Claude VonStroke, Hamburg scene staple Philip Wolgast and The/Das Berlin based duo all lend their unique electronic footprints to the already unique and instantly recognisable voice and charisma of Jaw.

‘MIDTOWN’ is all about the ambitious sound of an artist reflecting every shade of the world as he sees it, through collaborations with friends from every corner of the planet and even bringing his family into the fold. From bedroom set­ups to street recordings to professional studios, spanning melancholic folk, electro pop and apocalyptic R&B, this collection is the culmination of years Jaw has spent connecting with like­minded artists, challenging himself to use his unmistakable voice in different ways and placing the emphasis on having fun, whether the music be dark and obtuse or upbeat and flamboyant. Whatever the case, twenty different recording spaces with twenty different textures have ensured that no two moments on Midtown feel the same. The full compilation can be expected to drop in September.

You may know JAW already, you may not. An artist who has sung into the hearts of dancefloors the world over, Jaw is probably most known for his electric performances as the frontman of French house wildcards dOP and their indie­pop side­project Les Fils du Calvaire. Alongside this he has guested on massive tracks such as crossover hit ‘No Eyes’ by Claptone, Para One’s ‘When The Night’ and Claude VonStroke’s ‘Le Fantôme’, not to mention regular work with his immediate musical family in the Circus Company collective. As if he wasn’t already working with enough artists, Midtown now proves that Jaw’s muse is a spirit that just won’t quit until every corner of the world is touched by his honey­coated voice.
