Wyland have “The Answer” to presidential inauguration blues

Indie four-piece Wyland have tackled the Trump-induced malaise the best way they know how. "It got us really down to see people so divided,” they said, of November’s election results. "So we decided to write a song about it."

“The Answer" is a swirling indie-rock track taken from Wyland’s upcoming EP Snake Hill, due out 3 March. The single comes complete with catchy chorus, radio-friendly guitar solo, and slightly cheesy but ever-so-appropriate lyrics. Accompanied by adorable stop-motion visuals of a play-doh alien encounter, it’s (almost) enough to make you forget all the shit that’s about to go down.

"The video, created by the incredibly talented Hannah Darrah, is a metaphor about how we would like to bring people together," the band explain. “It's about how we wish we could help to fix the problems of the world with music as our sword."
