The Wild Wild
Apr 8, 2016
The Santa Cruz based synth-pop group The Wild Wild's debut breakout single is entitled "When We Were Young." It is on their "Kids" EP released on March 25th via Descendant Records. The single is featured prominently in the national spot (all media) for Visit Orlando and has been viewed more than 1 Million times on YouTube alone.
The Wild Wild front-man, Benjamin Dunn explains, "'When We Were Young' is obviously all about nostalgia, remembering being a kid and not having to care about anything except your new He-Man action figures. This world gets so heavy sometimes- it would do us all some good to put on our parachute pants, grab the big wheel, and get the fuck out for a while."
The Wild Wild is the indie pop project of Dunn who one day left his Illinois hometown and started hitchhiking west. After reaching the California coast, he slept on beaches and counted stars until settling down in Santa Cruz. His self-titled debut EP was recently released and is a buoyant collection of grand synth-pop.
