The Wickies Offer We Tried
I’ve only recently gotten into the Wickies, mostly because, as you clearly know, I’m absolutely in love with Quinn Kinsella-Mulkerin’s voice, and have been since I first listened to Big Blood. But, her current project, illustrates the reserved side of that power, holding it in just a bit, letting it carry the song without making it the sole focus. Together with songwriting partner Aiden Arel, the duo build these indie rock structures that manage to encompass the playful spirit that the Moldy Peaches and make it seem serious. Their self-titled album is dropping next week via Ba Da Bing Records, and I already get the feeling that this young act is years ahead of their time, and we’ll be looking to them for years to come.
