The Bright Wild mesmerizes the listener, as both an otherworldly, yet incredibly intimate experience!

The Bright Wild is a creative collaboration between Los Angeles based Lead Singer Roy Shakked (who has released multiple albums as Holmes over the past several years) and fellow multi-instrumentalist Tal Yardeni who resides in Tel Aviv, Israel. Being separated by 7500 miles with a 10 hour time difference made for an interesting creative process with hundreds of back and forth recording session files sharing, all culminating in their debut self-titled 5 song EP, co-written and co-produced by the two.  Shakked and Yardeni also recruited a trio of friends to join the cause: Lyle Workman on guitar (Beck, Sting, Frank Black), Blair Sinta on drums (Damien Rice) and Tim Lefebvre on Bass (Tedeschi Trucks Band).

Musically you can expect dynamic, lush arrangements with layered, swirling guitars, catchy melodies and vocal tracks which craft an atmospheric feel. There isn’t a medium song on “The Bright Wild EP” – which features excellent songwriting and inspiring lyrics.  It shows influences, but possesses a powerful originality. The songs meander between shallow ponds of soft sound and soaring waves of powerful, striking guitar riffs. The songs are balanced, surprising, and never tiresome.

Once in a while all the music world needs is a band just to simply cut it up. How many bands do you know that can sound so familiar and simple, yet different and complex? Listen to tracks like “Supersonic” or “Hello Again” with headphones at full volume. The instruments, the change ups, the melodies, the moods, and the vocals will blow your mind. “Calling You”, on the other hand, is one of those songs you can’t wait to get to when listening to the EP and when it’s over you have to hit the repeat button to listen again, and again.

Without taking anything away from the brilliant instrumentation, the luscious musical arrangements or the exquisite songwriting, the cherry on top of this EP, is without a doubt lead singer Roy Shakked’s voice. Melancholy, then shimmering, and at times suffused with uplifting energy, Shakked’s vocals greatly contributes to the infectious atmosphere and sensibility of these songs.

The Bright Wild has nailed an extremely warm sound that mesmerizes the listener as both an otherworldly, yet incredibly intimate experience. It is this very sound that renders the Ep timeless and classic. In a musical world full of hype and American idols, The Bright Wild really stands out from the crowd. And the best part is they get better and better with each listen.

It is hard to find great band these days, but The Bright Wild is one of them. This EP is perfect from start to finish. Quite simply, they have an addicting sound that makes it very easy to listen to and be excited about!

The Bright Wild EP will be Available on iTunes, Amazon Prime and all other major online music distributors October 9th.
