Wildlife Control’s latest single resembles Tom Petty meets Coldplay.
New York, NY (July 12, 2024) - NYC-based Wildlife Control drops their third single in as many months with “Dream Dream Dream My Friend” - an uplifting track that looks back stylistically to timeless rock songwriting while looking forward with sonic textures that impart hope and optimism. Featuring a chorus of rich harmonies, the song grows from a simple guitar riff into an alt-pop stomp, with a brass ensemble and melodic bass lines in the bridge. It’s a song about dreaming big and never losing hope.
Also announced today via Wildlife Control’s mailing list are details of their rumored new album, Love. Champion. Mountain. King., to be released on September 20, 2024.
Pre-orders on vinyl, CD, and digital are available at wildlifectrl.com.

“Wildlife Control is youthful yet insightful. It feels like lying by a pool you broke into, young and drunk, next to someone you loved while looking at the stars knowing in your heart the world has a f*** ton more in store for you.”

“Wildlife Control are writing classics. “Analog or Digital” is vaguely Ramones, vaguely Phoenix, wholly a triumph in rock that might be considered indie, and entirely awesome. It's a must listen.”
