Wild Leaves is composed of five Midwest transplants now living in Brooklyn. Though they have found their home along the Atlantic, their trademark flowering harmonies and jangling electric guitars have drawn comparisons to the Pacific sounds of The Byrds and CSNY.
The band’s second single, “Black River” shines with unadulterated earthy vibes and road tested rhythms. Filled with mystic imagery and Western landscapes, the song capitalizes on the journeyman quality of the band who have been on a perpetual tour since the release of 2013’s “Wind and Rain” EP. “Black River” is an excellent entry point into the band’s slow-building catalog of nostalgic Psych Folk. A perky fire side song that is performed with aching tenderness by lead singer Adam Lytle.
Wild Leaves newest EP, “Hello Sunlight” finds the quintet in confident space—beckoning the ears of young Folk Rock revivalists to share in their kindred melodies. The EP will be available on the first of October and can be pre-ordered via Bandcamp.
Wild Leaves release show for “Hello Sunlight” is October 1 at Mercury Lounge with Zachary Cale and The Lawsuits. Tickets are available here.
