Rock duo This Wild Life deploys a wonderful sound here, one that is emotionally captivating, cathartic and real. The acoustic band, maximise the instrument they love, creating songs which resonate in such a breathtaking way. Their record, Never Fade, is a collection of songs which dazzle and take the listeners through so much in terms of emotion, gifting them a piece of honest truth too.

The style used on this record is gratifying, pushing the limitations of the acoustic sound, while implementing melodies and sturdiness, as well as great structure. The vocals harmonies help bind it all together in such a spellbinding way that it’s hard not to cascade into the brilliance.

The band throws down honesty in the best way, orchestrating their sound not to fit the masses, but to engage with people who are hurting and demoralized by the world. The music isn’t fast-paced, it’s subtle, and it welcomes in anyone who needs to feel more alive, more stable in their existence.

No More Waiting starts the record off. It’s a subtle embrace and the melodies used here are majestic. It lifts up, and it engages on such a high level, making for an emphatic beginning. Silver And Gold is another acoustic song developing as it plays, pushing the lyrics forward, as they detail lost love and self-depreciation. It’s another well rounded track.

Fall Out Of Love Again is an acoustic triumph describing pain and misfortune, and everything seems lost under the weight of heartache. The fire is out, dreams are fading, and the world falls into disarray. It’s a brilliant track, exuding such emotion.

A pleasing and emotional record, Never Fade directs us to our own pain, as well as pushing us to assess our own lives.
