The multi-instrumentalist (real name Olly Bailey) has joined forces with James Veck-Gilodi for the brilliantly compelling track, taken from his long-awaited debut album ‘Wasteland’.

It comes following the release of the album’s first single, ‘California’, with ‘Wasteland’ set for release on July 19.

Have a listen to ‘Got It Made’ below:

Speaking on how the track came to be, Jaws The Shark has shared:

“I remember writing the main intro riff for it by just subconsciously playing around with an acoustic one day sat on my sofa, something caught my ear and I thought hmm, that reminds me of Smashing Pumpkins.

I just went and tried to make it as heavy as I could, which was quite liberating to be honest. Rather than shy away from the comparison I just thought I’d lean it to it and see where it went.

I was around at James’ place one night and showed him the track, and asked if he fancied having a go at one of the verses, and the rest is history!”

Alongside the single, Jaws The Shark has also shared news of a UK/EU headline tour taking place in September.
