Slowly but surely, the release date of Westside Cowboy's highly anticipated debut album It Goes On is approaching. Its two singles — "Kick Stones (The Boys)" and "Pin Up Boys" — both earned spots on our list of the best songs of the week. Now, the Manchester indie rockers are further building the hype with a riveting, colossal anthem called "Dobro."
"This is our strut song, over two minutes in length but just under three," the group says. "A song for perhaps a younger self? For that moment of waiting and isolation in the hopes of a return. Or it could just be a song about a weird guitar. Who knows!"
Though it's under three minutes, the gripping buildup makes it feel longer, in a good way; Westside Cowboy have proved with these previews that they know how to make a song feel big. The climax of "Dobro" is hard-earned and all-encompassing. Listen below.
It Goes On is out 8/21 via Island.
