Black Tambourine is the first single from unique singer-songwriter Withered Hand’s album New Gods, which comes a mere five years or so since he recorded his outstanding debut Good News.

The single features the assistance of Black Tambourine’s own Pam Berry on vocals and Eugene Kelly of the Vaselines on guitar, and the result is a more uptempo, fuller excursion into classic indie-rock territory, but still with his trademark vocal quaver and brilliantly off-kilter observations on the oddball ways of the world.

Its good to have him back!
