Wild Child

Austin TX indie folk on DUALTONE RECORDS, home of Lumineers, Shovels & Rope and Noah Gundersen Wild Child doesn't want a place to hide. Song after song, town after town, they'll wear their hearts ontheir sleeves,addicted to therush that only comes when thousands of strangers know all your secretsand sing them back to you, because they're their secrets, too. Wild Child's third album Fools(outvia Dualtone Records) is an ambitious collection of lush pop that takes sad stories and transforms them into an ebullient love letter to the power of music and the art of living with yourself. Wild Childhas built a sprawling grassroots following on the strength of high-spirited live shows that feel like self-contained joy benders, along with two precocious albums. 2011's Pillow Talknotched four no. 1 singles on indie pulse monitor Hype Machine, spurred on by music bloggers who fell early and hard for the quirky group. 2013's The Runaround upped the ante, making best-of lists and garneringglowing reviews and write-upsfrom NPR, Paste, Pop Matters, and many others. Then Wild Child hit TV, performing on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and serving as the featured artists on CBS Saturday Morning. Since forming five years ago, Wild Child has gone from playing shows for nine people to selling out venues across North America and Europe. Not bad for an indie outfit who, up until now, has been thriving without radio spins or record label muscle.
