Summary: <p>With screaming and blistering guitars, power-chord-like vocal harmonies (both clean and processed through an array of guitar pedals), and a rock-solid pummeling of drums, Brooklyn trio Upper Wilds, [Dan Friel (Parts & Labor), Zach Lehroff (Ex Models) and Jeff Ottenbacher], exploits all kinds of sonic textures for a cathartic, electric explosion of melodic and riff-driven noise-fuzz-pop.</p> <p>Expect distortion-filled, high-intensity songs with the “raw hopeful energy of DIY spaces” (<a href="http://www.thrilljockey.com/artists/upper-wilds">Thrill Jockey</a>) about being the first earthlings in deep space, getting struck by lightning, and colonizing Mars when Upper Wilds plays in-studio. <em>- Caryn Havlik</em></p> <p><em>Watch the session here: </em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p><a href="http://upperwilds.bandcamp.com/album/mars">Mars by Upper Wilds</a></p>
