Sounds Like"Classic country-tinged space-pop that feels like the sun poking through the clouds on a gray-ass Detroit February morning." -Metro Times

"...meandering Britpop melody and spaced out Beta Band electro orchestration. It could be an unheard Oasis demo, or it just might signal the arrival of the next Andrew Bird." -EARFARM

The electro-folk indie-pop doings of Ann Arbor's Wild Years have the kind of soothing, toe-tapping vibe that's sure to please fans of such indie singer-songwriter oddballs as Andrew Bird and M. Ward. - Metro Times

"Culling from a classical singer/songwriter wandering-through-the-world-and-this-is-what-I’ve-seen sort of mid-70’s feel as refracted through the more experimental bends of the late 90’s troubadours of Malkmus or M. Ward" - Real Detroit Weekly

"...dark melodic folk tunes that remind me of Page France or perhaps Bowerbirds..." -http://wearduringorangealert.blogspot.com

"..folksy/indie/lofi/melancholy, like Sebadoh or Smog; pretty double-tracked vox music to hang your head and shuffle your feet by" -http://onesweetsong.blogspot.com/

Yes, I am. But I actually live in Twin Falls, Idaho.

I found your band through the blog (the "spring-like" mix is very good). And of course your own music isn't disappointing either, it's actually quite wonderful.

Hi there! We've got a new EP that we're especially proud of called Summer which is the second in our series of seasonal EPs this year. We'd love for you to listen to the EP online, and to do so, just go to indiecater.com. If you like what you hear, we'd be very grateful if you'd support our efforts by buying the EP for €2.50 (around $3.20). Hope all is going great for you. Thanks for being our friend!
