The Night VI - Wonderlust


Isn’t it about time that we had a few more eyes shut, butt cheeks clenched, head thrown back, orgasm-like guitar solos in pop music again? All this 'going for the drop' stuff is getting a bit dull isn’t it? Thankfully The Night VI have got the right idea on their way better than good single Wonderlust (not as far as we are aware a tribute to the Heather Nova album of the same name) which has been shared, unveiled, released etc to the internet today.

“I’m in love I’m in love with the idea of you,” sings Sophie Rose Harper and as she does we once again fall in love with far more than just the idea of this band, but the real thing. Wonderlust finds The Night VI taking a very American 80’s sound and adding imagery to suit - Route 66 and drinking whisky in a saloon bar get mentions, but if we’re honest the thing we’re most excited about is THAT guitar solo. It is categorically the hottest, sweatiest and sexiest of guitar solos we’ve heard for a very long time. Strap yourself in at around 2 minutes 30 seconds into Wonderlust and have some clean tissues at hand.
