Selling Points:

1. This limited release seven-inch record is shining further light on Vessel States, their most recent, ambitious full-
length release that came out in April. Both are sure to fortify the critical acclaim (Pitchfork’s Best New Music tag
and the designation of being one of Magnet’s noteworthy records of the year) obtained on their self-titled
Jagjaguwar debut.
2. Domestic tour is planned for the fall.
3. Wilderness’ live performance is profusely engaging, much like reactions to excessive heat, physical exertion, fever,
or fear.

Living Through / Part Ways, the first 7-inch released by Wilderness, contains two previously unre-
leased songs done at Silver Sonya Studios, the same studio as where their first two full-lengths
were recorded and mixed. On “Living Through”, thundering bass and dangerous shards of guitar
splatter before James Johnson as he walks his plank, while on “Part Ways” Will Goode channels
his pummelling drums through the gates.

Wilderness is an unconventional band from Baltimore, Maryland, whose apparent musical pedi-
gree stems from the likes of the Fall, This Heat, Savage Republic, Public Image Limited and Joy
Division — without sounding like any of them —, and whose music is every bit as spiritual as it
is visceral, as nuanced as it is overt, and as communal and all-embracing as it is culturally alienat-
ing and nihilistic.

The four human beings that comprise Wilderness have been making art and music, living and
travelling together for over 11 years. They live and work in Baltimore, USA.
