New Music from the Wild Kindness
Austin’s own the Wild Kindness recently released a new tune, and I swear I meant to cover it! But, I aim to rectify my errors by presenting you with that tune now, particularly as its a great piece of classic sounding indie pop that should hit all the right notes. For me, this feels like We Have the Facts-era Death Cab; Mike Alexis’ vocals and lyricism are the star of the tune, but the emotion of said tune comes from the cascading guitars in the distance. Really, the production and arrangements are what allow the voice to take on the focus; percussion hangs lightly, while strings and woodwind lift the tune; there’s even a brief little heavy jam in the middle that gives it a nice bit of punch too. Easy listening that’s easily likable, so get into it below.
