Wookalily have just released their latest single entitled ‘Whiskey and Wine’

‘Whiskey and Wine’ ​(not their new way of life) is Wookalily’s new single taken from their forthcoming 2n​ d Album ‘Everything is Normal Except the Little Things Inside My Head’. ​”… it is a bottle half empty, slumped on the bar song, starting melancholic with Lyndsay’s intimate Aimee Mann like vocal drawing you in and holding your attention while the song builds to a trance like close. – Marc Higgins, FATEA Mag

Penned by vocalist and bassist Lyndsay Crothers, woven together by the Wooka ladies and captured by Northern Ireland’s only analogue recording engineer and female producer Julie McLarnon (The Vaselines, Jeffrey Lewis, Lankum and King Creosote). This is what Julie had to say… ​‘The album Everything is Normal…’ sounds like a 1970s lost classic. Atmospheric, cinematic, hints of folk and Morricone but also early B52’s . I really enjoyed making this record, it’ll find its way into cultured collectors hands over time.” – Julie McLarnon, Analogue Catalogue Recording Studios

Five women, ten instruments. ​Wookalily​. ​This is an ambitious folk music. Daring to dissolve musical and generic boundaries. Irreverently intertwining the disciplines of blues, rock, punk and more to create a unique and singular musical menagerie that must be witnessed to be truly experienced. Audiences will be left spinning with transcendent melodies and floating on ethereal vocals. It is a music that transports you to an ‘other’ place, somewhere between forever and the fleeting immediacy of now.
