Glide Magazine premieres The Watters’ album stream ‘Great Unknown’
Glide Magazine has the full stream of The Watters‘ new album Great Unknown, out this Friday:
The 10 songs on the album are thick and soulful, at times reminiscent of groups like the Tedeschi-Trucks Band, Fleetwood Mac, and even a similar spunk to contemporaries like Lake Street Dive. Ultimately, the tunes on Great Unknown are as fun to dance along to as they are to jam in the background while sipping wine with friends on a summer night.
Performer Magazine premieres The Watters’ single “DNA”
Performer Magazine premieres “DNA,” the new single from The Watters from their forthcoming album Great Unknown, out on July 1st:
This song screams against being a corporate guinea pig. I tried to compare the seductive associations used by mainstream corporations that make us believe cars and computers are ‘sexy’ to that of a ‘perfect’ human being. It’s hard not to long for that perfection in things…However, the veneer of perfection is a dangerous one.
Glacially Musical reviews The Watters’ album
Great album review for The Watters‘ Great Unknown from Glacially Musical:
“Our principals, Jenna and Daniel Watters both sing and play guitar. They switch off lead vocals in a beautiful and timeless way. The vocals are strong, powerful, and have a retro feeling, but the lyrics do not…”

Joy of Violent Movement reviews The Watters’ new single
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.
