SELECTED SONGS: WILD ONES

A collection of unreleased songs, session versions, and demos from 2010-2018 by Portland, Oregon's Wild Ones.


Now You Know: Wild Ones were a very special band who managed to combine dream pop with r&b, dance, and indie rock and somehow sound like no one else. First heard on a compilation CD in a borrowed car, first seen playing a banh mi spot on a weeknight, Wild Ones soundtracked the casually cinematic moments of our lives. Whether or not you were listening to them at the time they were making this music, a Wild Ones song almost certainly would perfectly score your drive through the city at night with a crush, a walk across an empty schoolyard sports field at dawn, or through a green park at twilight, or perhaps a T-shirt feels-just-right bike ride on a summer night. Whether heard looking at rain on windows reflecting the glow of street lamps, as dappled sun streams through leaves, or as frost diamonds sparkle on the sidewalk, this is music for a time and place where you feel everything.

REVIEWS

"These tracks act as an audio chronicle for the band as their sound shifted, refined, and reshaped itself through years of live shows and studio sessions. Occasionally drenched in fuzzy theatrics or molded into some indie-pop vessel or primed for some late-night dancefloor gyrations, their songs were often euphoric distillations of countless genre experiments, madcap creations that spoke to the body, the head, and the heart in the same exact moment in time." - Beats Per Minute
