We Were Wild

Gorgeous shimmering melodies. Doo-wop verses. Chiming chords. Careening garage rock. Welcome to We Were Wild by Esmé Patterson. We Were Wild is a cohesive but experimental album, teasing further ambitions without losing the glorious clutch of melodies and harmonies that hammers Esmé's songwriting into your heart every time. Last time around, Esmé broke stereotypes and the one-dimensional views on females in songs. This time she's snapping her own restraints and weaving her way to more freedom than she ever thought she could have.
