Wild Light

When I say the Arcade what is the first thing that comes to mind? Video games? A childhood memory? What about when I say the word fire? The image is just as clear, but darker. Together when I say Arcade Fire, you should think brilliance. That is what everyone should think. That thought should also be created when hearing the two words Wild Light together.


Wild Light was formed from former Arcade Fire band member Timothy Kile. The thing about this band that will trigger a thought of interest in your brain is that the band was formed long before Arcade Fire, the band was formed back when the members were in High School. They all went their separate ways and then reunited in 2005.


Now another thing about this band that will trigger your interest is that they sound similar to Arcade Fire. They are of the same genre and use multiple instruments that are rarely heard. The have the common guitar, bass, and drums. The less common, but not rare piano and synthesizer. They also have the rare instruments, like the harmonica.


To make their music they fuse the common with the uncommon to create an original, yet familiar sound for the ears of their fans. One listen and you will be hooked.

Their debut album, Adult Nights, was released in 2009 and is their only album to date. The thing is though for a debut album, you can hear the chemistry and the excellence this band possesses and to think that this is just the beginning of the next step for this band makes me, and the rest of their fans, eager to see what they come out with next.
