The Prickly Pair unveils the untamed odyssey “Wilderness”
The Prickly Pair, comprised of Mason Summit and Irene Greene, have released their latest single, “Wilderness.” The musical composition takes the audience on a sonic voyage through indie Americana. It was penned during the duo’s nomadic cross-country odyssey from Los Angeles to Nashville, with an interlude in the dusty roads of Durango, Colorado, to record amidst the rugged landscapes. The track “Wilderness” is thematically linked to their previous release, ‘Long Gone,’ as it explores the enigmatic pursuit of isolation.
The musical composition “Wilderness” portrays an anonymous protagonist’s footsteps as they traverse the wilderness, ultimately succumbing to its allure. The combination of Mason Summit’s guitar strings sets the tone, and Greene’s haunting vocals create a sense of intimacy and a narrative reminiscent of a modern-day ballad, complementing each other brilliantly. The rhythmic heartbeat of Jim Doyle’s percussive drums and Luisa Marion’s evocative fiddle strokes make the song a tapestry of sound that envelops the listener in its rustic embrace, showcasing the musicians’ craftsmanship and skill.
Inspired by Chris McCandless’ tragic tales of adventure and solitude, “Wilderness” was expertly mixed by Oliver Roman and professionally mastered by Bobbi Giel at Welcome to 1979, demonstrating The Prickly Pair’s commitment to their craft. The duo’s upcoming performance alongside Jeff Plankenhorn at McCabe’s Guitar Shop promises to captivate audiences with emotive storytelling and mesmerizing musicality, encapsulating the essence of yearning and the irresistible pull of the unknown.
The Prickly Pair adeptly traverses the emotional terrain with a distinctive fusion of exceptional artistry and contagious energy, leaving audiences entranced with captivating lyricism. Its excellent work of musical art caters to the discerning tastes of audiophiles who seek outstanding sound quality. The music invites listeners to embrace the alluring yet capricious nature of the wilderness while simultaneously venturing into the unexplored realms of creativity and imagination.

BuYufu turns the symptoms of love into a soul-filled dance with “Side Effects May Include”
In “Side Effects May Include,” BuYufu has made the irrational symptoms of hopelessly falling in love playful and highly musical. Love’s a hell of a drug, and it has some weird side effects. Missed calls, dancing on the spot, and acting completely out of character. It’s a simple idea, but the track really brings it to life.
It’s written as a song for a 70s soul club performance, influenced by crossover soul, northern soul, Afro-Cuban soul, and Latin soul. Horns, strings, shuffle guitar, Latin percussion, Hammond organ, and an active drum break surround the song’s central feeling. The arrangement keeps the song feeling lively, but the vintage influence is very clear.
“Side Effects May Include,” has subtle callbacks for those who have been following the project. This connection gives the song a sense of finality. It’s warm, raw, and deliberately human in its subject matter, capturing the odd thrill of love while showing how an old-school soul feeling can still speak naturally to the present.
