Wild Child - End of the World

Wild Child - End of the World

After more than a decade of non-stop touring, acclaimed Austin
songwriting duo, Kelsey Wilson and Alexander Beggins, quietly
stopped touring as Wild Child. Headed in different sonic directions,
the pair didn't know if they would ever make another Wild Child
record. Then, what felt like the "end of the world" brought them back
together. Pandemic lockdowns closed stages and drained bank
accounts. As artists from all backgrounds took their shows to the
internet, Wild Child was no different. Wilson and Beggins got together
to practice for a series of online performances for devout fans, and
within 30 minutes they wrote the first single for what would
accidentally become Wild Child's fifth album, End of the World.
Mixed by Matt Pence (Jason Isbell, Elle King) and including
contributions from guitarist Charlie Wiles (Paul Cauthen, John
Moreland, Orville Peck), End of The World sees the pair find catharsis
in art amid compound disasters. As Wilson describes it, “I just started
signing about things that were freaking me out. Wearing a mask for a
year. Global warming. There's no heat, no water. It was like a dirge to
begin with. But by the end we were all screaming and laughing that,
yes, this might be the end of the world, but we're all together right
now, making music in my living room by candlelight. It's all OK."
