Jacob Slater (aka Wunderhorse) is back today with his second single ‘Poppy’, the follow up to his debut ‘Teal’ at the end of the summer. It comes with the exciting news that The singer-slash-Sex-Pistols-biopic-star will be playing a headline show at The Lexington on 10 March, with tickets on sale today.

‘Poppy’ is four-and-a-half minutes of pure shoegaze intertwined with gorgeous psychedelic guitars and a visual to match. Sparse, dreamy lyrics let the intricacy of the music take centre stage, and the result is idyllic. Here’s what Slater said about the new track:

“Poppy is a song about a time and place long forgotten that suddenly returns to you in vivid recall, kind of like a dream that doesn't belong to you anymore. I was listening to a lot of Jeff Buckley's live album 'Mystery White Boy' when I wrote it, trying to work some of that kind of falsetto into it.”
