Wildlife: Dead Century

Canadian AOR quintet Wildlife are back with a new single. Dead Century is a radiofriendly unit shifter painted with broad strokes. It sounds a lot better than their brickwalled 2013 album ...On The Heart.

Wildlife: ...On The Heart

Toronto rock band Wildlife have released their second full-length ...On The Heart. Lead single Born To Ruin barely survived the production skills of Peter Katis (Interpol, The National) and the album as whole suffers from a muddy, brick walled sound, which is fine for tiny speakers of smartphones and that crappy headphones to come with them.

Everyhing and everybody wants to be upfront and that's a shame because these guys can come up with snazzy power pop (Dangerous Times), synth rave ups (Dangerous Times) and tender ballads (Don't Fear). Next time, hire a Pro Tools major student with good ears.

...On The Heart is released on Wax Records.

Tracks:

1. If It Breaks
2. Born To Ruin
3. Bad Dream
4. One For The Body
5. Don't Fear
6. (Arrythmia)
7. Dangerous Times
8. Guillotine
9. Bonnie
10. (Pulse)
11. Lightning Tent
12. Two Hearts Race

Wildlife: Born To Ruin

Toronto rock band Wildlife have released Born To Ruin as the lead single for their upcoming album ...On The Heart. Produced by Peter Katis (Interpol, The National), they go for a brick walled sound that threatens to bury the vocals. Lucky for them the song itself as enough rock anthem qualities to overcome this.

Live date:

• 03/28 Electron Festival, Geneva, Switzerland
