The Teskey Brothers Share Striking “London Bridge”
The Teskey Brothers release ‘London Bridge’ – a momentous offering from their forthcoming new album, The Winding Way, out Fri June 16. A dramatic and sprawling work, ‘London Bridge’ is a masterclass in songwriting and musical exploration, and once again spotlights Josh Teskey as one of the country’s most powerful singers. Set against a lush musical backdrop of meandering guitars and soaring strings, it is as timeless and exciting as it is The Teskey Brothers at their most experimental and arguably, their best.
The string-laden production heightens this song’s intensity, juxtaposed with tense acoustic guitar which carries the verses. “We wanted the chorus to feel like an explosion, a raw outpouring of desperation and vulnerability,” explains Voltz of his and co-writer Oliver Charles’ approach.

Jealous Of The Birds Returns Shares “Beginner’s Luck” From ‘Hinterland’
“It made sense to me to begin the record from a place of humility and acknowledge the extent to which I’m never done learning. The older I get, the more I discover that the key to learning is to open oneself to being teachable. The song’s structure is set around archetypal figures from which one might construct a perspective of the world. There’s value in that which I wanted to dedicate a song to and ‘Beginner’s Luck’ is what came of it.” – Naomi Hamilton
