Our Take
Our Take
UPPER WILDS have landed their spaceship on the red planet and the result is both out of this world and a cosmic mess. Mars is the setting for their latest sonic excursion, appropriately titled "Mars", an album that blends fuzzed-out guitars, intergalactic synths, and a touch of space cowboy swagger.
From the opening track "Love Song for Mars" to the closing anthem "Red Dust", UPPER WILDS take us on a journey through the barren landscapes and alien atmospheres of our neighboring planet. The band's signature blend of punk rock energy and psychedelic experimentation is on full display here, with each track feeling like a sonic supernova waiting to explode.
Lead singer Dan Friel's vocals soar over the instrumentation like a Martian windswept dune, while drummer Jeff Gretz and bassist Zach Lehrhoff provide a solid foundation for the band's cosmic musings. Tracks like "Phobos and Deimos" and "Valles Marineris" showcase the band's knack for catchy hooks and spacey riffs, while "Olympus Mons" takes us on a journey to the highest peaks of Martian mountains.
Overall, UPPER WILDS have crafted an album that is equal parts weird, wonderful, and completely bonkers. "Mars" is a sonic odyssey through the cosmos that will leave you questioning your place in the universe. Strap in, buckle up, and prepare for liftoff with UPPER WILDS.

About the artist
Upper Wilds
Profile: UPPER WILDS He's the enigmatic frontman leading the charge for one of the most electrifying bands in the indie rock scene today. UPPER WILDS, the brainchild of guitarist and vocalist Dan Friel, has been making waves with their unique blend of punk energy and experimental noise since their explosive debut in 2018. Friel, who cut his teeth in the influential noise rock trio Parts & Labor, brings a wealth of experience and a healthy dose of charm to UPPER WILDS' stage presence. With his manic guitar riffs and powerful vocals, he has a knack for energizing crowds and keeping them on their toes from start to finish. But it's not just Friel's magnetic stage presence that sets UPPER WILDS apart from the pack. The band's intricate, multi-layered soundscapes and unpredictable song structures keep listeners on the edge of their seats, never quite sure where the music will take them next. Whether he's shredding on a guitar solo or belting out raw, emotive lyrics, Friel is a force to be reckoned with in the world of indie rock. UPPER WILDS' latest album, "Luck in the Valley," is a testament to their fearless creativity and boundless energy, proving once again that this band is a true force to be reckoned with in the music industry. So, if you're looking for a band that's equal parts talented and unpredictable, look no further than UPPER WILDS. They're a true gem in a sea of mediocrity, and they're ready to shake up the music world in ways you never thought possible.
