Wookalily – Escort Me
Wookalily - Escort Me
Release Date: Out Now
Four Irish women and one Welsh
woman walk in to a bar and tell the bartender that they are Wookalily. This is
more factual reportage than a joke, sorry if I misled you somehow. Anyway,
Belfast based Wookalily are the five-piece of which I speak and their new
single, ‘Escort Me’, is a slow burner of a tune that emerges from a smoky basement
Jazz bar carrying a bag full of country harmonies and a macabre glint in the
eye. The vocals blend seamlessly in to one another while the rhythm section
maintains a satisfying swing for the rest of musicians to embellish with aplomb
and no small amount of flair. This is one of the most complete and fully formed
songs I’ve heard as an introduction to a band in some time, so I’d recommend
checking Wookalily out as soon as you possibly can. You won’t regret it.
