This unreleased song begins with natural sounds before changing to drums and post-punk bass lines that develop a more distinct musical character. Once the vocals appear, the performance takes on a storytelling approach with clear shades of The Fall, while the arrangement gets more complicated and atmospheric. As the song develops, the influence of Japan and David Sylvian becomes more obvious, particularly in the distinctive bass work and enigmatic, wide-ranging mood. The production has a raw character in some areas, particularly around the vocals, but the overall mastering is quite good. Listening through headphones shows many interesting details about the composition, with different layers progressively presenting themselves as the song develops. A minor tweak to the vocal compression might perhaps improve the stereo image and give the mix an even more open vibe, although this would not damage the track’s charisma. Re-Wilding is a fascinating work that calls for attentive listening. The mix of early-1980s post-punk, atmospheric orchestration, strong bass, and narrative vocals produces a unique underground vibe. Listeners who love post-punk’s darker and more experimental side will find something here worth looking into.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
