WILDER MAKER
MALE MODELS [Dark Blue Vinyl] LP

LP pressed on Transparent Dark Blue Vinyl

Ask singer-songwriter Gabriel Birnbaum what inspired Male Models - the diverse new album from New York band Wilder Maker - and he'll mention everything from American novelist James Salter and the NBA playoffs to Thin Lizzy, and the delicate tightrope of positive masculinity. These reference points might sound arbitrary to the uninitiated listener, but together they provide some insight into the creation of an album that somehow succeeds at being both an apocalyptic novel of ideas, and the most cohesive party playlist that you've ever heard. Male Models was recorded live over several days with Birnbaum and longtime collaborators Nick Jost and Sean Mullins. Despite his status as the frontman and principal songwriter of Wilder Maker, Birnbaum's voice can only be heard singing lead on five of the twelve songs. The remaining tracks have guest vocalists taking the mic, unveiling an impressive lineup that includes Adam Duritz of Counting Crows, Felicia Douglass of Dirty Projectors, Katie Von Schleicher, and Jordan Lee (aka Mutual Benefit).
