You can do anything when you close your eyes.
For Grammy-nominated musician and producer Wildlife Control, music is the highest form of art. It can transcend boundaries; it’s a universal language that has the power to touch the soul of anyone who listens.
Although only the most dedicated and gifted musicians are capable of making music of this level, Wildlife Control easily falls into this territory. Although he’s more than established himself as an elite talent already, Wildlife Control won’t rest on his laurels; we haven’t seen the best of him yet.
Part of what’s also made Wildlife Control so great is his versatility and ability to collaborate effortlessly with other talents. The Grammy-nominated musician and producer, who records and tours solo, as a duo, and with various collaborators, has been a significant force in shaping the New York shimmer pop sound since the early 2010s.
Impressively, Wildlife Control’s artistic brilliance isn’t limited to music; he’s also brilliant with visual artistry. With a catalog of innovative videos under his belt, his creations have been praised by WIRED, also earning him comparisons to industry heavyweights like OK Go and Arcade Fire.
Thematically, Wildlife Control’s latest release, “Dream Dream Dream My Friend,” is about dreaming big and maintaining hope. Perhaps it’s fitting, then, that the instrumentals evolve from a simple yet energetic guitar riff into an emphatic alt-pop medley, mimicking a hope that grows, swells, and bursts forth.
“Dream, dream, dream, my friends,” he implores, combining his encouragement with other supportive lyrics like “You’ll go so far, I know / Just follow your heart of gold.” Wildlife Control’s vocal performance is captivating yet comforting, and on his third consecutive release in as many months, this musician’s gone three for three.
“Dream Dream Dream My Friend” is a comforting yet also rousing alt-pop anthem brought to you by an artist at the very top of his game.
