WILDHART: Release "Shake Of" track
October 18, 2016
Wildhart have released their new track Shake Off and is receiving a warm welcome from the blogosphere. The band will release their debut album Shine the 11th of November. Listen to the track here.
"With this superb new single and approaching debut album, Wildhart are set to join the ranks of other sublime Scandinavian artists, such as Little Dragon and Lykke Li." - Spindle Magazine
"Gothenburg based alt-trio Wildhart have already placed themselves at the forefront of the rising DIY pop scene in Sweden." - Pond
Shake off was premiered by DIYmag:
"On their richly inventive new single, Gothenburg trio Wildhart break free. 'Shake Off' is about existing in a patriarchal world and creating your own destiny. Or, in vocalist Ylva Holmdahl's words, turning hardships "into gold".
It's a simple message, filtered perfectly through the group's deep, exploratory pop. Warpaint-like howls merge with moody production (like if Massive Attack took on Scandipop), and what begins in a loose, open-ended state ends up as a full-bodied beast. It's easy to get swept up in 'Shake Off''s bright sense of escape, but threading it together is a sense of resistance, defiance and positivity that Wildhart truly embrace."

Shine is the debut album of Swedish sweethearts Wildhart. The ten track album contains six new songs and four tracks from the bands debut EP. Wildhart'sathmosperic sound has been compared with the icy, ethereal Scandinavian qualities of acts like Little Dragon, The XX and Niki And The dove. Their new album holds instant hits as Shake Off and Heal that reminds of the bands debut hyped single "Stuck in a second" and at the same time the new tracks has a more rhythmical drive than their debut. It is more complex- but the music grows with each listen.
The opening, political - dark and - danceble, ends in the chaotic and shattering outro of Heal throwing you into the blurry and underwater-like intro of Broken Flowers. This track, togehter with Alley and Shine, holds a more warm and embracing sound, picking up the trails from EP 1. This album show their ability to mix an organic and live feeling together with the more electronical songs.
Wildhart have recorded and mixed the album themselves before teaming up with their co-producer Henrik Alsér (Svenska Grammofonstudion) for the final touches and mastering. Wildhart debuted in the end of 2015 with the Single Stuck in a Second which got over 100 000 streams in a week on the digital platforms. Their first EP 1 got a lot of attention at platforms like Konbini, The Line of the Best fit, Hilly Dilly, Clash and also Swedish press like Hymn, Popmaniand the music magazine Gaffa.
Wildhart is Ylva Holmdahl, Christian "Kiwi" Berg and Josefin Runsteen.
The 11th of November Wildharts debut album Shine will be released at theSwedish indie label Gaphals on all digital platforms.
Shine will be released digital and physichal on CD and Vinyl.
