Led by the former Los Bitchos guitar player, Well Yeah have shared their second single, ‘Ritmo’, custom made for summer kick back playlists. 

Totally instrumental, the sound sways between cowboy vibes with a latin american flavour, before being bedded down in a 90s Madchester beat. Merging rich guitars with Happy Mondays inspired silly keys, ‘Ritmo’ was the first song the group wrote together, setting the tone of everything to come. 

Talking about the track, the band said “Think of some classic Gloria Estefan bongos put through a wah-wah pedal, layered on top of Happy Mondays' funkiest keyboard parts then add a bit of Los Detellos bright guitar licks and bouncy bass lines. It culminates in a horn laden crescendo that could easily soundtrack an action film car chase scene.We've been closing our set with this track for the last year so we chose to record it live in our studio in Brunswick Mill to capture some of that energy into the recording”.

‘Ritmo’ is out now via Strong Island Recordings

Issue Four of the Gigwise Print magazine is on pre-order now! Order here.
