This month's featured band on Kool Rock Radio is Cardiff-London indie pop/shoegaze band Wylderness.
Their sound is described as "'woozy sun-drenched indie and mesmerising shoegaze, echoing the sounds of Ride, My Bloody Valentine and DIIV."
The band are set to release their self-titled debut album on March 23rd via Succulent Recordings. It was recorded, produced and mixed with acclaimed indie producer Rory Attwell (Test Icicles, Veronica Falls, Telegram, Palma Violets). Pre-order the album here.
Wylderness are highly notable since they already achieved upfront US TV support from stateside sync deals and widespread support from UK national radio for their two singles to date, "72 & Sunny" and "Peripheral Vision", both featured as singles of the week here on Kool Rock Radio, on October 16 and January 8 respectively.
Latest single "Peripheral Vision" is woozy throbbing and mesmerising shoegaze all neatly rolled into one. Speaking of the track, the band said, “‘Peripheral Vision’ is the icier wintry cousin to our first single "72 & Sunny", which we wrote around the same time. We were listening a lot to the latest DIIV album when we made this, so that was a definite influence. The lyrics are about giving yourself some space to enjoy wallowing in a bit of misery, and the idea that it can be a healthy thing to do to make something creative’.
