Carol Turner, and Kevin Johnson, are Wild Blooms. Their passionate and decidedly original sound was cultivated in the thriving and prolific music scene of Austin Tx. They scored smash commercial and critical successes with their first two projects, The Lones, and the indie phenomenon Panic Choir.
Turner and Johnson next turned their attention to Wild Blooms releasing the self-titled "Wild Blooms" in 2003 ( on the fledgling indie label Euro-America Records) a "sparkling" mostly acoustic offering, highlighting distinctive songwriting and soaring vocals. In 2005 they released "Modified Additive", which saw them collaborating again with other Austin artists, exploring new sounds via samples, sequences, and programming.
In 2007 Wild Blooms released "Dear Delirium". With this release, Wild Blooms entice the listener into their swirling, and heady world. Dear Delirium can be like reading a private letter or overhearing a secret conversation, allowing us to become the voyeur as Wild Blooms experiment, and explore, writing love letters to their muse. Fusing modern electronica with their acoustic, singer songwriter roots has placed Wild Blooms decidedly outside the "comfort zone" they had established with their earlier success. Growing is what Wild Blooms do. Challenging themselves stylistically, will likely not be a challenge for their long time fans, who relish the kind of edge this band leads them along.
2009 finds Wild Blooms in their studio again. The new CD is slated to release in late fall!
"With their haunting lyrics and edgy sounds, Wild Blooms deliver a powerful and timely statement of consciousness through their electronic pop music. This band is carving a path through the world of brave new music, melding the highest thought with their special brand of raw energy. Keyword: beyond cool!"
