Better Weather - Wayfare

Self-Released

“Denver-based band Better Weather craft a warming spell on their new track “Too Close for Comfort.” French horn and bouncy keys lead a refreshing introduction, as the vocals ease in with lyrics retelling of a love rekindling and taking on life’s adventure. The vocal tone and horn-laden charm reminds fondly of the band Beirut.” – Obscure Sound

“We won’t recover: Denver harmony masters Better Weather sees that perfect day turn grey on debut track ‘Too Close for Comfort.'” – A&R Factory

Formed by University of Denver Lamont School of Music students, Better Weather is characterized by lush, dense, melodic baroque pop arrangements, the voice and lyrics of frontman Skyler McCoy, and the eclectic combination of its members’ musical tastes. Obscure Sound describes the band as having a “compelling, emotive sound.”

Their debut single, “Too Close For Comfort,” was reviewed by A&R Factory: “Bringing the world a reminder of why a debut song is so special, Better Weather has dropped a sure-fire timeless classic to play on repeat whenever those reflective moments eerily resonate at a precise moment in time we can’t explain.” Their debut album Wayfare seeks to continue that theme when it releases in July. A workshop facilitated by Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold was a catalyst to McCoy’s songwriting.

The band has played at Goosetown Tavern, The Squire Lounge, and Skylark Lounge in Denver, as well as Globe Hall where they opened for nationally touring act North by North in April 2023. All the musicians are classically or jazz trained and play multiple different instruments live: drums, bass, vocals, electric and acoustic guitar, keys, saxophone, and french horn.

Better Weather is headlining at San Francisco’s Brick and Mortar Music Hall on their album release tour in July 2023 with support from Marble Party and Rose Paradise.
