A serenely hooky success from Austin-based artist Michael Sanders, “the wild” infuses dreamy hooky vocal entrancement with an array of lush acoustics and jangling guitar bursts. “I’m looking for some way out of the wild,” Sanders sings during the track’s replay-inducing chorus, beckoning for a way out as twangy guitars traverse back into the sturdy verses. Themes of escapism resonate within a magnetic, melodic production.
“I can’t stop falling in love,” Sanders lets out wistfully following that hook, escalating seamlessly into another series of catching moments. This fantastic earworm comes via Sanders’ upcoming second full-length album, fuzzer, out on May 30th. Sanders describes that as his “Austin album,” — continuing: “Through these songs, I am reflecting back the parts of Austin and its music scene that I see in myself.”
