Mancunian indie quartet Westside Cowboy fight off pigeonholing by bookending their new So Much Country 'Till We Get There EP with two folk songs, plus one of them - opener Strange Taxidermy - is about a thing is slightly troubling. Was a loved one stuffed and preserved maybe? In The Morning is about being on the run for something, so that could be the second chapter of a gruesome tale.
In between it is business as usual with three guitar driven, off-kilter upbeat songs with the odd bit of feedback in Don't Throw Rocks thrown in. They are definitely a band to watch as they like to casts their nets wide, fishing for things that they haven't tried before.
So Much Country 'Till We Get There is released via Nice Swan Records / Heist or Hit (vinyl, CD, digital).
