Wild Moccasins Drop DESIRED EFFECT (Treasure Fingers Remix) Ahead Of SXSW

Wild Moccasins have dropped a Treasure Fingers remix of "Desired Effect" off their acclaimed 2018 release Look Together. With highly pop-powered production by GRAMMY Award-winner Ben H. Allen (Gnarls Barkley, Deerhunter), Look Together is an impassioned 12-song set that tackles themes of repairing relationships, shedding insecurities, and fresh starts through vibrant guitar and synth lines layered under frontwoman Zahira Gutierrez's soaring pop melodies. Wild Moccasins tapped twelve different artists, including The Juan MacLean, Treasure Fingers, De Lux, DJ Candlestick, and more, for the forthcoming release of an entirely remixed Look Together album due out April 26, 2019 via New West Records. "Desired Effect" (Treasure Fingers Remix) is out today ahead of the band's appearances at SXSW next week. Please see their SXSW schedule below and scroll down for full tour details.

Wild Moccasins' Look Together is a resilient and volatile break-up record co-written by lead vocalist Zahira Gutierrez and guitarist Cody Swann after their decade-long romantic relationship dissolved. Healing proved to be a burdensome task for the former lovers, as the band was charted for two years of extensive touring. Gutierrez and Swann would spend countless hours positioned in a shared tour van, painfully staring each other down on stage, and ultimately exchanging exaggerated he-said-she-said's through songwriting. For most romantically intertwined bands, Look Together would have never happened. Dissolving the group would seem to be the logical conclusion of their romantic split, but instead, the former couple chose to reconcile their differences the only way they knew how - working towards a common musical goal. Songwriting has been habitually engrained in the duo, and while being emotionally vulnerable with a former partner was difficult, it helped to construct the bridge between confusion and solidarity.
