Withered Hand, the project of Edinburgh’s Dan Willson are returning with second LP New Gods, (not far from being an inversion of the title of debut Good News). The record was produced by Tony Doogan (Mountain Goats, Belle & Sebastian) and includes appearances from the likes of Eugene Kelly from the Vaselines and members of Belle & Sebastian and Frightened Rabbit. Opening single ‘Black Tambourine’ is bright and bouncy, and a perfect antidote to the January blues.
