The free-wheelin’ rock ‘n’ soul trio DeWolff have revealed the official video for new single “Natural Woman.” which is taken from their new studio album ‘Muscle Shoals’ – recorded at the legendary FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, Alabama. The album will be released on 6 December via Mascot Records. You can check out the official video for “Natural Woman,” HERE.
The band will also be touring the UK in April 2025, playing the following shows:
12 April – Stereo, Glasgow
13 April – Deaf Institute, Manchester
15 April – Rescue Rooms, Nottingham
16 April – The Fleece, Bristol
17 April – O2 Academy, Oxford
18 April – Garage, London
Set to the backdrop of a vintage animation video, the band talk through the swirling soulful new song, saying, “Natural Woman is another one of these songs that basically wrote itself: the big guitar riff, the verse and the chorus melodies came to us all at once, as if tapped from some kind of ancient rock ‘n roll well. The lyrics are about natural beauty, not having to hide or change to be accepted. There’s satisfaction in imperfection; the plastic dream was a lie.”
The album was recorded at the world-famous FAME and the Muscle Shoals Sound Studios with the band embedding themselves in the home of Soul. The studios have seen the legendary likes of Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Etta James, Cher, The Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bob Dylan record between the two.
They have already released the album’s opening track “In Love,” which was filmed at FAME. “It’s about if you’re with someone for a long time and you meet someone else, and they really turn your world upside down by challenging the promises you make to your partner when you have a long-term relationship. They’re all these things that you want to do. There’s a line that goes ‘tell me babe why can’t we meet, at the dark end of the street,’ which is a reference to Dark End of the Street, written by Muscle Shoals songwriter Dan Penn.”
In May 2024, they travelled to Muscle Shoals to record their 10th studio album between the two studios with Grammy Award-winning producer Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes). “You can really feel some kind of rock ‘n roll magic in the air there,” Pablo adds. “Right when we played our first notes there, I got goosebumps. This definitely was one of the best recording experiences we’ve ever had. Even the grand piano Leon Russell used was still there, just like the electric Wurlitzer piano that was used on “I Never Loved A Man” by Aretha Franklin!”
Over the past 18 months, the enchanting psychedelic soul ‘n’ rollers have preached their Electric Gospel on a cruise, in a castle, sold out countless headline tours across Europe and transformed festival crowds into their own disciples. They’ve toured with The Black Crowes and have previously played shows with Blues Pills, Deep Purple, TOTO, and count Seasick Steve as a fan.
Muscle Shoals, follows their previous #1 studio album Love Death & In Between (2023) and since then they have celebrated a Edison Award nomination (The Dutch Grammy’s), released Live & Outta Sight III, and also received the live music award, the ‘Gouden Notekraker.’ In June 2023, they produced the world’s fastest Studio-to-store record – 2 hours, 59 minutes, and 38 seconds for “Rosita Rápida”, beating the record previously held by Jack White.
Formed in the Netherlands’ Deep South of Geleen as teenagers, Pablo van de Poel (guitar/vocals) and Luka van de Poel (drums/vocals), alongside Robin Piso (Hammond/Wurlitzer), have carved out a place for themselves as carefree adventurers; prolific in the studio and well-worn road-rovers.
