FOLLOWING the announcement of their new EP ‘We Wish You All The Best’, Declan Welsh & The Decadent West have shared a gentle new cut called ‘Useful’.

Set to feature a mix of new material alongside b-sides from last year’s debut album ‘Cheaply Bought Expensively Sold’, this is the second single to be lifted from the collection after the release of last month’s indie-rock anthem ‘Ghosted’.

A far cry from its predecessor though, ‘Useful’ falls alongside Welsh’s more tender and introspective material. With only an acoustic guitar and ghostly harmonies for company, and briefly a rousing guitar solo, the frontman reflects on his own place in the world, what he brings and where he will go next. Written and recorded in lockdown, it’s a song that captures the very visceral uncertainty and self-reflection of the time.

‘We Wish You All The Best’ arrives on 4th September.
