Rolling Folk Pop from The Lonely Wild

February 21, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Something about the damp weather brings me home to blossoming folk tunes, such as this new number from The Lonely Wild. When the song opens, it’s got a lengthy build in, accented by soft horn accompaniment in the background. Then the track sets its sights on evoking that emotional tug at your heart with male/female vocal harmonizing. It’s a simple formula, but when executed so well, I find it hard to ignore. If you enjoy what you hear, be on the lookout for The Sun As It Comes, which will be released on April 2nd via Ursa Major Recordings.

Sprawling Beauty from The Lonely Wild

January 24, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

As much as I adore fast paced rock n’ roll, I have a great fondness for carefully crafted music of the folk/orchestral sort. This new single from LA’s The Lonely Wild fits perfectly into that mold, with a swell of orchestration and harmony sung in unison. But, there’s also a gruffness that comes in towards the middle of the track, which provides a bit of an edge to the track as a guitar cascades through the background. They’ll be releasing their new album, The Sun As It Comes, on their own via the Ursa Major Recordings imprint…that should be available to you like-minded folks on April 2nd.
