Thanks to The Joy of Violent Movement for the great review of The Watters‘ new single “Great Unknown,” title track off of their forthcoming album, due out on July 1st:
Album title track and first single ‘Great Unknown’ has the band pairing Muscle Shoals soul with 70s AM rock — a soulful horn arrangement and Jenna Watters’ effortlessly soulful vocals are paired with jangling guitars and gently propulsive drumming, along with a careful and deliberate attention to craft. Lyrically, the song focuses on two very different things -taking a big chance on your dreams with the hope that things will come out in your favor but also on something that people often forget, sometimes you can’t fight the tide; things will sort themselves out in their own time and in their own way even your own dreams.
