Welsh Shoegazers 'Wylderness' are back with a brand new single.
'Is It Summer' will be released digitally on 3rd of March.
The band said this about 'Is It Summer':
"This started out as a riff with loads of delay played on an old Vox amp we found where we were practicing. We then jammed about and it developed into a song in two parts. It has a cinematic quality in the first half with hints of Interpol. It reflects the wild west nature of the 90s tech boom. Then it erupts in the second half and outro (“Stand up count everything / If you want to / If you want to”)."
Woozy sun-drenched pop wrapped in a wall of stabbing fuzzy guitars and mesmerising shoegaze, echoing the sounds of Ride, DIIV, Sonic Youth and Yo La Tengo. Wylderness’ eponymous debut album, released in 2018, was championed by SteveLamacq (BBC 6 Music), Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1) and was part of Radio 1’s Best of BBC Music Introducing.
It garnered critical acclaim from Clash, DIY and Drowned inSound, with the song On a Dais being featured on the US version of the TV showShameless.
Wylderness have played shows for Huw Stephens, Sonic Cathedral, Swn Festival and support with Acid Mothers Temple.
The Cardiff band’s second album, Big Plans for a Blue World(2022), was recorded with an expanded line up and featured added layers of vintage synths and clarinet. It placed no.28 in Far Out Magazine’s Best Albums of 2022 and charted in the North American College & Community Radio Chart.
2025 will see the release of their much anticipated new Safe Mode EP recorded with producers Andrew Sanders and long time collaborator Rory Attwell.
Wylderness are: Ian (guitars/vox), Jim (bass/guitars), Ben (drums/percussion), Dan(guitars/vox), and Harri (clarinet/keys)
