Listen to Matt Bachmann's cover of Michael Hurley's "Wildegeeses" 17 May 2021

Matt Bachmann has shared another song from his excellent forthcoming album, Dream Logic, out June 18 on Orindal Records / We Be Friends Records. "Wildgeeses" is a cover of Matt's favorite song by Michael Hurley, a living legend of outsider folk & Orindal Records hero. Anyone who has seen Matt perform live in recent years has already been charmed by Matt's moody, gently swinging rendition, a staple of his live show.

Beats Per Minute shared "Wildegeeses" this morning. From writer Rob Hakimian:

"(Bachmann’s) love of the song reflects off the icy synths that underlay the track, and the simplistic YouTube-ripped drum loop pushes the glacial song onwards with a gentle caress. Bachmann’s voice is atoned to this chilly atmosphere, his singing barely more than a whisper as he observes “the wind blowin’ from Northwest.” Some atmospheric inflections and subtle harmonies bring breathable depth, but without having to strain or add too many more elements, he pulls us into the mind of this lonely and lovelorn song, to trudge alongside him in the glimmering wilderness.
