Wytch Hazel release new single “Woven” from upcoming album “V: Lamentations”

UK rock visionaries Wytch Hazel have unveiled “Woven,” the first single from their forthcoming album V: Lamentations, out July 4th via Bad Omen Records. Now available to stream here and pre-order here, the track offers an early glimpse into the band’s most accomplished and emotionally rich work to date.

Radiating rustic charm and introspective depth, “Woven” stands as a luminous example of Wytch Hazel’s evolving sonic alchemy—blending heartfelt storytelling with virtuosic musicianship. The song’s bouncy rhythm and intricate melodies are steeped in both warmth and melancholy, inviting listeners into its deceptively simple, yet ever-blossoming, musical landscape.

“On ‘Woven,’ in particular, you can hear us locking in and playing off each other in the room,” says frontman Colin Hendra, reflecting on the band’s live chemistry. “I really wanted to write a heavy rock song about sensitivity and gentleness, which you don’t hear too much of really. There’s this section where it goes quiet after the lyrics ‘be sensitive,’ then a big guitar solo comes in where I try my best to shred and let it all loose.”

That soaring lead solo—originally improvised during recording—became a centerpiece of the track. “It had to be slowed down and meticulously relearnt,” Hendra adds, underscoring the band’s commitment to precision and expression.
