Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Wild Ones are dedicated to capturing the spirit of art and authenticity through R&B synths, muted guitar sounds and somber vocal melodies. GoldFlakePaint premiered Wild Ones' new single "Standing in the Back at Your Show," calling it "a sumptuous undertaking, one that bleeds an acutely subtle prickliness through the elegant shell of the composition which does its best to hide the such sentiments from view." This latest track touches on catching inappropriate and unwieldy feelings, that shouldn't exist but persist anyway, as explained by frontwoman Danielle Sullivan.
Nylon premiered the first single "Paresthesia" calling it "a catchy indie  gem with a deeper meaning." Danielle Sullivan says of the track, "Paresthesia refers to a time in my life when anxiety was ruling my mind. I was withdrawing from friends, wasn't leaving my house, and had stopped engaging with the world outside. The song explores strained love in the context of manifested fear."
Mirror Touch explores spaces of isolation, loneliness and how it feels when the line between self and other becomes blurred. The record title refers to the condition "Mirror Touch Synesthesia" and the physiological experience of empathy. How can you know yourself, when in public you become everyone else? The songs explore the quest to maintain artistic self-integrity in an industry that seeks to homogenize. Solitary in their process of collaboration, Himes and Vicario produce the music, while Sullivan crafts lyrics and melodies, their attempt at self-preservation against the ever-changing expectations of what music should or should not be. Combining their style of upbeat melodies with a backdrop of darker lyrical themes, an inquiry into their artistic process ultimately reflects a balance between earnest head nods to their favorite sounds with a fierce loyalty to their own sense of self.
