Critically acclaimed LA-based band Wildcat! Wildcat! are set to release their highly anticipated, self-titled debut EP September 10 on Downtown Records. The band garnered critical praise for their previously released sold-out limited addition 7" on the taste-making label Neon Gold Records, including early support from BBC Radio 1 in the U.K. TIME raves, "I love the staccato electronic rock, I love the frantic opening measures, I love the fleeting falsetto in the background," while NYLONfurthers, "Undoubtedly one of the best tracks we've heard all year...these guys certainly have more in store for 2013." To celebrate the release, the band will embark on a nationwide tour starting in September.
The new EP was written and produced by the band in their home studios over the course of the last year and a half. The first single "Mr. Quiche" can be streamed/shared http://bit.ly/14HOhVr. Of the songs Jesse Carmichael (vocals, drums) notes, "Some came quicker than others but all of them provided us the time to try out different processes of collaboration and understand how and why we make the kind of music that we make together."
Wildcat! Wildcat! is Jesse Taylor (vocals, bass), Michael Wilson (vocals, keys) and Carmichael. The trio played together in various incarnations before officially forming Wildcat! Wildcat! in 2012. The band has toured extensively including SXSW, a sold out west coast headlining run and major U.S. support slots with Alt-J andPortugal. The Man.
