I must admit, I haven’t always been the biggest Wolfmother fan. While I appreciated the band’s classic rock sensibility, most of their stuff felt a little too derivative for me. So I was pleasantly surprised to hear how fresh the new single “Victorious” sounds.
The title track from the band’s highly anticipated new album has that same retro rock feel the band’s famous for, but it’s got a lightness and optimism that I’m really responding to.
“We wanted to get back to that big sound,” Andrew Stockdale said in a press release. “The album is a balance of garage-y energy and big production. It’s wild, energetic and,” he muses, “perfect for a festival main stage.”
If this single is any indication, fans are going to go nuts for the album Victorious when it hits stores on February 19.
