Following hot on the heels of previous single’s ‘Kick Stones (The Boys)’ and ‘Pin Up Boys’, Manchester’s Westside Cowboy return with the excellent Dobro – the final taster of their upcoming debut album It Goes On, set to land August 21st through Island Records. Making its debut with Huw Stephens on BBC 6 Music, the track pairs Jimmy Bradbury’s commanding lead vocal with the signature harmonies of Aoife Anson O’Connell, unfolding through crisp, skittering percussion and fuzz-laden
guitars. Speaking about the single, Westside Cowboy shared: “This is
our strut song, over 2 minutes in length but just under 3. A song for
perhaps a younger self? For that moment of waiting and isolation in the
hopes of a return. Or it could just be a song about a weird guitar. Who
knows!” Take a listen for yourselves below.
