Hot Press Track of the Day: Robocobra Quartet's 'You'll Wade'

The music video from their new single sees frontman Chris Ryan "wading" through stock footage video on Pond5, before settling on a recycling clip of a waterfall.

Frontman Chris Ryan told The Thin Air recently, “During writing it was clear that ‘You’ll Wade’ was meant to have a massive ambience shift half way through the song. To get this we recorded both halves of the song separately with a different sounding drum kit and even a different bass & sax player from our family of collaborators, months apart. We also had a string quartet in doing some arrangements on this record and recorded them tuning up their instruments to drop in at a few places in this song. The sound of a string section tuning is beautiful and it seemed to work harmonically here!”

Robocobra Quartet (Plays Hard To Get) will be released on May 25. Find out more details here.
