It’s been a while since we had new music from UK duo Two Ways Home, but that is about to change! Yes, Isi and Lewis Folkner, known for their stunning harmonies and melody-driven music, have been busy writing and recording and will be releasing their latest single “ Medicine Man “ on April 5th, pre-save here https://found.ee/TWH-MedicineMan
This upcoming single marks a pivotal shift towards a rockier, heavy hitting sound that Two Ways Home have envisioned for their forthcoming releases, with the track characterised by heavy guitar riffs and Lewis’ powerful lead vocals. And having been privy to a sneak preview, it’s a direction that suits them very well I must say!
The punchy song is addressed to a lover who we hear likened to the titular travelling medicine man, the opening lines describing how “you move in slow then leave as fast as you can ……. love like lightning, then steal the thunder right out of my hand”. And keeping up the analogy, she has seemingly cast her spell, with Lewis telling us how he refuses to listen to a voice in his head that’s warning how bad she is for him.
It’s a track that I think will be taken to even dizzier heights when performed live ….. speaking of which, Two Ways Home have also announced a full band tour with dates up and down the UK throughout May. Appropriately titled “The Travelling Medicine Show” it kicks off in Cambridge on 7th and also sees them performing at the always popular “Country in the Afternoon Festival” in London on 19th. DETAILS ARE ON THE COUNTRY LOWDOWN GIG GUIDE.
