Description
On their last record, The World We Built, The Wild Reeds blended plainspoken folk lyricism, lo-fi surf guitars, and tasty spoonfuls of alt-country twang. Currently on tour behind their latest LP, Cheers, this women-led band are showing off some new tricks. While their ramshackle indie sensibilities remain, they've put some bounce in their step and some glitter in their doo-wop-flecked vocal harmonies. It would seem they've descended from Laurel Canyon to cruise the Sunset Strip--trading in their banjo, acoustic guitar and pump organ for high gain tube amps sparkling Rhodes keys and quivering Hammond tones.
