    "The Wild" From The Wild

    Review by Kyle Furuta

    The Wild. Now here is a band that I feel really embodies the independent spirit. This maybe-sarcastic band’s self-entitled EP starts off with an upbeat folk tune, They Too Will Know. Witt Wisebram, lead vocals, sings with a twang-iness that reminds me of Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah’s Alec Ounsworth. The Wild also manages to pack emotion into every song, which should sound very familiar to fans of Bright Eyes and Conor Oberst. These guys really know how to get that natural quality to music, that almost sounds profound, without that profound feeling. At the end of the EP, I’m hit with a song I almost thought crawled back from the 50's, which is great, because I love the 50's. The song, Oh Alex, takes me to a better time, with it’s prom ballad sound and amazing lyrics.  

    The Wild falls into that small category known by an almost surprising few called anti-folk. Although, that is my personal opinion. Personally, anti-folk is one of my favorite types of music. But I think The Wild fits perfectly into that small section of music, with their almost goofy tone and sarcastic voice.

    Official rating: 4 teapots out of 3 iPods  (1.44 teapots = 1 iPod)
