I’ve done away with a lot of promos over the years but have held onto the Wilderness discs.

The only thing that didn't age so well for me were the silly backup vocals on the 3rd LP

Maybe I shouldn't have listened again in the same week, because now the cracks are starting to show.The start of the debut album seemed a lot more epic before I paid attention to the lyrics:
Face the facts, oh facts the face, facts the faceTrace the act, oh act the trace, act the traceErase the act, oh act the erase, act the eraseReplace the fact, oh fact the replace, fact the replace
Still not tired of the drummer's constant fills though. Also, it sounds like "Post Plethoric Rhetoric" repeats the riff from "Marginal Over" but at half speed, which makes for a nice callback.

I’m not sure if it will be? Does this label usually make these comps available for streaming?

"Those who purchase the zine will receive one of two limited edition cassettes, either that of the previously unreleased Wilderness album Future Seats or..."
So there's a Wilderness album that was never released, but it will be available on cassette only if you hurry.

AT RANDOM. So you can't even say "Hey, Jagjaguwar, I'd prefer the Wilderness tape, thanks!"

So Colin McCann and Brian Gossman have a new band - Vulture Feather. They're pretty good!

I'm so glad I clicked on this post yesterday because Wilderness was one of my favorite bands of the late aughts and I always wondered what became of them. Liminal Fields is lit. Terrific cover art, too.
