Featured Tune: "Magpies" from Wild Horse

Where the Feathers Fall

Wild Horse’s latest single, “Magpies,” arrives with the swagger of a late-night confession and the sting of a story you’ve lived through yourself. After years of being a live-show favourite, the track finally gets its studio moment — and it was worth every second of the wait. From the first beat, you can feel that unmistakable Wild Horse energy: bold, alert, and simmering with a kind of emotional electricity that never quite sits still.

Jack Baldwin’s writing taps into a raw, deeply human place — that uneasy territory where trust slips, people disappoint, and you’re forced to guard your own peace. But rather than leaning into heaviness, the band wraps those themes in a sound that’s wildly alive. Funk-leaning guitar lines flicker against hip-hop-tinged grooves, and the whole thing carries that vintage Brit Rock cheekiness that the band has made their signature. It’s a fusion that shouldn’t work this smoothly, yet somehow feels effortless.

What really elevates “Magpies” is the sense of unity in the performance: Henry’s rhythmic pulse, Ed Barnes’ instinctive interplay, and the brilliant texture added by Jade Snowdon’s keys and violin. It’s lush, colourful, and full of movement — like a night out that ends with you looking inward.

“Magpies” isn’t just a song about betrayal; it’s a declaration of boundaries, strength, and self-preservation. Wild Horse offers a track that moves the body while steadying the heart — proof that they’re hitting a new stride, and hitting it hard.
