wojtek the bear
Glasgow indie heroes wojtek the bear return with a new single, 'kylie’s put a curse on us' - the video is by Jen Marr, and the single is out now via Last Night from Glasgow, acting as a taster for the band's forthcoming album "i don’t think you want to hear this" which is available to pre-order now. The upcoming 11-track album was recorded with renowned producer Bill Ryder-Jones at Airdrie's Beetroot Studios, the band saying: “ We were really excited to work with Bill as we're huge fans of his records and his style of production (since leaving The Coral Ryder-Jones has produced The Wytches, Brooke Bentham, and Michael Head) and luckily we hit it off pretty much immediately.
