Mediabase Alternative 12* Great streaming numbers Consequence of Sound looks at the origins of Wilderado’s single ““When do I begin?” goes the bridge of “Surefire”, the newest track from indie Americana outfit Wilderado. It’s an interesting question for a band three EPs into a steadily rising career, but a fair one. In 2018, the California wildfires claimed the quartet’s home and creative space, the affectionately named “The Misty Shrub” in Latigo Canyon. They made the choice to return to their original hometown in Tulsa, Oklahoma, re-centering themselves as they continued to tour endlessly. In the wake of that loss and change of scene, a poem by Tabitha King called “A Gradual Canticle for Augus- tine” struck frontman/songwriter Max Rainer. It reminded him that only by taking one day at a time can you truly appreciate where you’re going. The poem describes a bear’s first encounter with the world after hibernat- ing away the winter, an experience of which Rainer says he became jealous. “Whether I like it or not, the sun is coming up and going down,” he explains in a press release. “But what if we could see the world the way a bear does on that first walk through the forest after months in the dark? This song is a reminder that if I view the day s the time I’m going to miss all it has to offer.” So, after losing their safe space and heading back into the wilds of touring, asking “When do I begin?” is Rain- er’s way of grounding himself in the moment. “Surefire” drives along on an unhurried melody, an easy pace that assures it won’t speed past. Like a deep breath, the track is a calming reminder that we remain strongest by keeping ourselves in the present.” - Consequence of Sound, “Origins,” July 18, 2019 Entertainment Focus focuses on Chris Shiflett’s new album “Chris Shiflett stepped outside of the Foo Fighters in 2017 to release his debut Country record West Coast Town. Under no illusion that his solo career was going to find more popularity than his work as part of the Foos, Shiflett delivered a cohesive and engaging record that more than show- cased his Country sensibilities. Two years on and Shiflett is following up that record with the release of his second solo album Hard Lessons. One thing that’s apparent from a listen through of Hard Lessons is that the album leans more into rock than West Coast Town did. Given that Shi- flett is known for his incredible guitar skills, it’s no surprise that he wants to further showcase them here and he does impressively. This Ol’ World, the album’s lead single is more rock than Country, and Shiflett delivers a killer solo in the songs final moments. The song is a good indication of what to expect from the rest of Hard Lessons, an album that demands you turn the volume up high. Album opener Liar’s Word sees Shiflett proclaiming that he’s ‘about as good as a liar’s word’ to a woman that wanted to settle down with him. Shiflett is honest in his lyrics admitting that he tried to be what she wanted but ultimately couldn’t do it. All of this is told over crunching guitars with a hazy 70s feel. On The Hardest Lessons Shiflett admits that he enjoys being on his own while acknowledging his flaws and destructive tendencies. Elizabeth Cook features on The One You Go Home To, a playful and surprisingly perky song about enjoy- ing an extramarital affair that you just can’t seem to end. It’s one of the strongest moments on the album and Cook’s vocals blend perfectly with Shiflett’s to create a memorable moment. Elsewhere on the record Shiflett puts a different spin on a break up with the punchy I Thought You’d Never Leave, struggles to get a woman out of his thoughts on Marfa on My Mind, and Leaving Again captures the life of a touring musician pulled away from family to spend their time with strangers. Hard Lessons is a solid effort from Shiflett. It’s a good follow-up to West Coast Town but it doesn’t quite hit the highs that record did. Sonically it’s definitely a progression but the record loses some of the Americana charm that made West Coast Town such an addictive listen. Lyrically though the album feels more open and hon- est, and there are some really strong songs here. The album definitely puts Shiflett’s guitar prowess at the fore, which is fitting for an album that embraces the musician’s rock credentials.” - Entertainment Focus, July 2019 Coming up... 8/5: White Reaper “Might Be Right,” Penny & Sparrow “Don’t Wanna Be Without Ya” RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY UPDATE - 7/24/2019
