New Gods

Fortuna Pop release the new album by 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.' The long-awaited new album (produced by Tony Doogan - The Pastels, Mountain Goats, Belle and Sebastian etc) features guest appearances from the likes of Pam Berry, Eugene Kelly of The Vaselines and members of Belle and Sebastian and Frightened Rabbit. It's a remarkable effort, bursting with heartfelt songs that don't sacrifice melody and tunefulness for the often too-serious trappings of the singer-songwriter. There's a strong wit and sense of humour at work here, and a very unique voice. Calling it 'folk' or 'pop' really only tells part of the story - Withered Hand's music is beautiful, melodic, honest and beyond easy categorization.Digipack CDHeavyweight LP in Gatefold sleeve with download.
