Watch: Big Wild Releases New Single/Video "Who Do You Believe"

Portland electronic/dance/pop artist Big Wild (aka Jackson Stell) has released the video for his brand new single “Who Do You Believe".

The song is out today via Counter Records, and is "an urgent question that producer, songwriter and vocalist Jackson Stell poses to his listeners ahead of the 2020 US election." Get it here.

Through an enthralling arrangement of arpeggiated synths, undulating guitar, rising walls of bass, drums and hypnotic vocals, “shouting at the screen,” Big Wild captures the hysteria of false narratives, misinformation and biased agendas disseminated by mass media during an unparalleled, divisive point in history. In both the song and its striking music video, Stell envisions a future in which we leave blind faith behind and build a culture driven by individual critical thought, bereft of propagated falsehoods and indoctrination.

Not only does Stell present a new sense of personal audacity to his listenership, he also unveils yet another facet of his stylistic versatility, as his psychedelic, mesmeric vocals and neo-pop production, reminiscent of a new-age Tame Impala, furthers him as the next alternative artist to watch.

To accompany the electric single, Big Wild revealed a bold visual, societal commentary in tandem, centered around the crucial pursuit of truth amid polarization and partisanship.

New Entry: Big Wild Shares New Single "Touch"

Portland electronic/dance/pop artist Big Wild (aka Jackson Stell) has shared his new single “Touch".

The song is "a euphoric and eerily prescient that captures the lingering reminiscence of physical contact," is out today (May 13th) via Counter Records. Buy it here.

Created entirely before the pandemic - and originally set to premiere during a pivotal, prime-time performance at Coachella last month - singer/songwriter/producer Stell built the song around the feeling of yearning born of out being separated from his partner during months on tour. That personal experience has since turned global, and the music of Big Wild continues to “flip the script on everything”.

As Stell explains, “I’m sure with the current state of the world ‘Touch’ will take on a different meaning than I intended but that’s the best part of writing music, seeing where a song goes. I can’t claim any foresight, but the feeling of deep longing and desire is universal. It’s interesting because I was writing from a personal place but this theme is something we’re feeling on a societal level right now. People need connection.”

Watch the lyric video for below, taking visual cues from Quentin Tarantino as it channels the warm, Western landscapes that influenced the track’s summer-ready sound.
