The Good Natured, fresh from brilliant performances at SxSW and recently signed to Parlophone imprint Regal, have just released a hot-off-the-press new studio single, “Wolves”.
Available to download for free via SoundCloud - 'Wolves’ is a fast-paced, intimate dance track where we find Sarah in the deep dark wood, “dancing ’round fires, lost in desire” and ready to surrender to the howling of the wolves. The clarity of the interplay between the instruments is a stark contrast to the cheerfully morbid metaphor for escapism - feral and sensual.
Says McIntosh of “Wolves”: “In every society, we find people who are bored with their daily routines, getting up, going to work, and coming home again. 'Wolves' is about escapism, leaving the mundane normality of everyday life and entering a new world, whether it be a fantasy or a reality."
The band have already been making a name for themselves with their previous EPs ; 'Be My Animal', 'Your Body Is A Machine' and their cover of Sufjan Stevens 'For The Widows In Paradise; For The Fatherless In Ypsilanti'. These have helped their popularity on music blogs so much that they were in the top 10 most searched acts on Hypemachine last December. The band have received support from Nick Grimshaw, Huw Stephens and Jo Whiley on Radio One, plus XFM and 6 Music.
With such catchy songs able to stay true to the Dark-Pop theme it's no surprise that The Good Natured’s fans are so loyal, or that blogs and forums and all over the web are already clamouring for more music.
