Wilderness (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilderness is a Baltimore-based indie rock band currently signed to Jagjaguwar. Lead by the theatrical, chant-like vocal style and lyrical presence of James Johnson, they are known to create a complex brand of post-punk that heavily recalls art-emo pioneers Lungfish and more closely Public Image Limited. Their debut full-length was recorded, mixed and mastered in May and June of 2004, by Chad Clark and T.J. Lipple at Silver Sonya in Arlington, Virginia. It was released in July of 2005 and has been widely celebrated in indie music circles.

On April 11, 2006, the band released their second full-length, Vessel States, which received mixed critiques in comparison to their debut.
