about

The adventurous sonic palette and open-ended approach to the recording of Wild Unraveling allowed band members to give full expression to their creative impulses. "I wrote the majority of the songs on our first two albums, Chordata and Latah Nights," Bock says. "This record was a cooperative venture. We all brought in ideas and developed them together. It was written in three weeks and recorded and mixed in a few months, with producer/engineer Todd Dunnigan (Built to Spill, Caustic Resin)."

The EP opens with "Catch the Light." Wieland's drums and Fredrickson's bass lock down a mellow, Velvet Underground groove to compliment Bock's whispered vocal, which urges us to forget our pains and reach for the light. Guest guitarist, Built to Spill's Doug Martsch adds shimmering, tremolo drenched guitar figures to the background, before stepping up with an eerie solo. Dunnigan's gospel tinged organ gives the poignant melody of "Hold On Let's Let Go" a dark, unnerving tone. Bock's bluesy, distorted solo duels with Martsch's mixed down, metallic shredding to disturb the song's calm, quiet feel, then quickly vanishes to let the woeful vocals and mournful sustained notes of special guest Earl Hughes's steel guitar take the tune home.

"Never Fade" is a droning, cacophonous sound sculpture that sets Fredrickson's subterranean bass, Wieland's wild cymbal splashes and an avalanche of guitar noise produced by Bock, Martsch and Muir against the operatic improvisations of guest vocalist Emma Doupe. "The EP is balanced between taking things too far and reeling them back into place," Bock says. "It's our most intricate, dynamic album. "It really challenged us to move in new creative directions."
