The Lonely Wild, an indie folk/rock band from LA. They released their debut album, The Sun as it Comes, two years ago and are busy working on their second, Chasing White Light.
This is what they say of themselves âThe Lonely Wild carved out their sonic niche pulling from 1960âs western cinema, Laurel Canyon vocal stylings, and the adventurous spirit of The British Invasion.â Others have mentioned Calexico, Ennio Morricone and Fleet Foxes. Iâd agree with all the above. Not crazy about every single thing, but they might just have something thatâs a little different ⦠and at the very least they write interesting songs, have an impressive musical skillset, a fairly distinguishable sound, and have actually thought about the lyrics, which is usually a good sign. Curious to hear the new release and see how it shapes up.

The title track from that first album - [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9QXHLTPx10"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9QXHLTPx10

And the first single â which has a big hook, IMHO!!
