Wild Powwers
What You Wanted
"What You Wanted" is the the fourth album from Wild Powwers- a dynamic trio from the dark, dank corners of a Seattle basement. After many years writing and touring together, Lara Hilgemann (guitar, vocals), Lupe Flores (drums, vocals) and Jordan Gomes (bass) have imbued a very individual sense of character into their hard-to-pigeonhole music, with a great facility for building outstanding songs. Known for their thunderous rhythm section and visceral intensity, on "What You Wanted" the band alternates the wild with the mild-- layering 70's songwriter melodics, bass-heavy rock, and harmonic vocal interplay with the gritty patina of 90's grunge angst. Hilgemann's ferocious vocal blasts are unleashed sporadically as intense apexes that are bolstered or tempered by Flores' more mellow flow. Produced by Sam Bell (R.E.M., Minus The Bear, Weezer, Taylor Swift) and mastered by Ed Brooks (Pearl Jam, Death Cab For Cutie) "What You Wanted" exhibits the multitudes Wild Powwers are capable of expressing. Humor and sadness, the spirit of their influences and the force of their own personality; the bitter with the sweet. From straight up punk rock to strangely beautiful psychedelia; cathartic angular rock intersecting with gorgeous, shimmering melancholy, and many melodic shades in between. The album is honest, raw, and relatable - it's "What You Wanted." For fans of L7, Babes In Toyland, Hole
