Wild Places
Glasgow based trio The Wild Places release new 5 track EP Empty Space//Locked Room.
The EP a collection of new tracks and reimagining/remix of previous releases from recent album Wires with heady mix of collaborators offering a new twist to The Wild Places. Andrew Montgomery (Geneva/Us) features on new track Circles which opens the EP setting the tone for a dark dystopian listen bordering on Thom Yorke, Four Tet.
Meanwhile with Graham McCarey (Pelts) and classical guitarist Dave Black join in a reworking of Fear City from the previous album. Replacing the jangle guitars for a softer folk tinged tone harking Cinerama era David Gedge. Poets Miriam Gamble and Peter Mackay provide new works for the wonderfully desolate Throw Your Arms Up To Heaven.
Little White Lies From Wires undergoes a Remix by long time collaborator Steven Ward. Before closing out with new track A View From The Bridge.
Ewan Fergus of the band explains: “We couldn’t gig because of lockdown so we wanted to keep making music no matter what. 2020 has been a really strange year for everyone. This is our take on some of that. Making music remotely with our pals all over the place and in such weird surroundings when your all stuck at home was something very different, but it made something new that I think we can be proud of.”
