EAD WOOD CASH MOUNTAIN
Bristol-based indie & alt-country project Ead Wood has revealed his new single, ‘Cash Mountain’. There is a charming surrealism to Ead Wood’s sound. The innocent twang of country influences and his distinctive vocal delivery collide with psychedelic production and a clear interest in existentialism and the state of the world. “I heard that Who Wants To Be A Millionaire was originally called “Cash Mountain” and I thought it was such a great title, so great that after researching the Coughing Major scandal the chorus basically wrote itself. The verses were also inspired by Ingram’s line after his introduction, where he said if he was to win any money he would like to buy his daughters a pony. It’s a classic story of hustle culture, fraud, deception of the nation and inevitable downfall that now feels par for the course today.” Ead Wood’s debut album, Cash Mountain, is due on June 11th, 2025, via Breakfast Records. -Dan Peeke
