Wendy McNeill announces follow-up single, to be taken from forthcoming album

Canadian/Swedish songstress Wendy McNeill releases the brand new cut ‘Prometheus Please’ on 17th of March, the second single from the forthcoming album ‘First There Were Feathers.’

The album was conceived after a period of mourning McNeil experienced due to a large forest fire that took place near her home. It left her deeply affected and wondering how humanity could become so disconnected from the natural environment that maintains us.

She explains “Greek mythology has it that Prometheus gifted fire to humanity, having himself made us from clay, only to discover our vulnerability when compared to other creatures. Here I ask him what on Earth he was thinking. As someone who could also predict the future, could he not foresee how this would lead to the climate change mess we are now living through?”

In keeping with the theme of humanity being shaped from clay, the accompanying video is shot at the ceramic studio of Spanish artist Rafaella Pareja, who also provides the black arm of Prometheus.

This sparse and low-fi slice of indie magic is taken from the forthcoming album ‘First There Were Feathers,’ which further blends personal story amidst myth and legend, and is due for release on May 26th.
