Creature Comfort produce music that sits somewhere between country and americana. Although both are not my favourite genres, their new single is simply beautiful. Woke Up Drunk drips with melancholy, courtesy of a gorgeous string arrangement, wonderful choirs and acoustic fingerpicking. These ingredients make this one of the band’s most intimate tracks.

Woke Up Drunk is the latest cut that Creature Comfort are sharing from their upcoming album. Titled Home Team, it’s set to be released on 30 October.

Lead singer-songwriter and guitarist Jessey Clark tells PopMatters: “This is probably the most personal of all the songs on the record. It’s about when you break up with someone, even if you’re the one who ended the relationship, there’s still like that curiosity of whether or not that was the right decision.”
