Wilderado has just released “Sometimes” b/w “Tomorrow” via Bright Antenna Records and it is also available on limited edition 7” vinyl. News of “Sometimes” b/w “Tomorrow” comes along with news of the band’s June US headline tour. All June dates will be supported by Flyte.

The new songs were written by the band during sessions for their forthcoming sophomore album, recorded in Norman, Oklahoma, and produced by Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens, SYML) and James McAlister (Gracie Abrams, The National).

The two-track single is Wilderado’s first new music of 2024 and follows last Fall’s “In Between” single, whose latest version featured guest vocals from Matt Berninger of The National.

The first new single, “Sometimes”, hearkens back to some of the band’s earliest recordings.

Max shares:

This is a look into coping mechanisms. It’s something I’ve struggled with this year. I convince myself I need help calming down or being social at the right times. The first part of the song is indulgence, the second part is the reality of the situation and the ending is the honest bit.

The song “Tomorrow” reflects on the growth of the group since originally forming in 2015.

Max adds:

Tomorrow came from a lost guitar part that we finally stitched into a song. For some reason the body of music felt like a safe place to try and dive into my troubled faith. The further I went the heavier it got. Similar to the energy that builds in a frustrating conversation, I feel like the song helped me ride a motivation and spill my guts a bit.

The as yet-to-be-titled sophomore LP will follow the band’s self-titled debut full-length. Last spring Wilderado toured with My Morning Jacket and released Wilderado Live – their first ever live LP.
