Nashville-based Folk/Pop trio The Arcadian Wild have released their new album, Make It Out Alive. Their fourth collection is a “celebration of hope, love, and joy in the face of overcoming personal loss and emotional upheaval.”
Having now surpassed the ten year marker as a band, it also finds the trio in the midst of a creative reformation, as they co-wrote all the songs collectively for the first time, as well as worked with an outside Producer for the first time.
Mandolinist/vocalist Lincoln Mick shares:
A lot has happened in between our previous record and Make It Out Alive, and I think what we created feels pretty distinct from what we’ve done in the past, and yet in many ways, it’s the most like ourselves that we’ve ever felt. There’s still some ambition baked into the music, but there’s also a sense of settledness, a relaxing into a shared trust of one another, the process, and the audience. We’re just really proud of it, and of all of the people that we got to make it with.
The Arcadian Wild will hit the road this Fall for their US headline tour in support of the new album, which includes stops in Iowa City, Minneapolis, Chicago, Asheville, Atlanta, and more.
Recorded in Nashville with producer/mixer Micah Tawlks (Judah & The Lion, The Brook & The Bluff), Make It Out Alive steps beyond the limitations of live performance with a densely layered soundscape drawing on Folk, Country, Bluegrass, choral, and Pop music. Thematically, it reflects a “personal reckoning with life’s impermanence that learns to find purpose and meaning in sorrow and mourning.”
The songs here are more collaborative than ever before, with guitarist/vocalist Isaac Horn, fiddler/vocalist Bailey Warren, and Mick co-writing together for the first time.
