Manchester psych-pop outfit Whyte Horses produced one of last year’s most enjoyable records with Empty Words, whisking us off to a land of blissful, dreamy psychedelia that sounds both familiar yet fresh.

Whyte Horses are back with a single called ‘The Best Of It‘, lifted from the aforementioned LP, it is draped in all the wonderfully uplifting and timeless tropes that makes the record such a gem. Featuring La Roux on vocals, it is a cover of an obscure late 60’s West Coast psych-folk group called Thorinshield, it captures the beautiful and joyous sound of Whyte Horses. Unsurprisingly, it is a superb piece of pop music. Marked by melancholy yet bursting with sun-kissed tones, it swaggers gently along a seductive groove as a Soul brass section weaves around La Roux’s forlorn lyrics, with an added breezy harmonies bringing a lush 60’s California-esque vibe. This is peak Whyte Horses, and their knack for borrowing from the old and creating something new and contemporary, yet simultaneously timeless
