Not far from the tiny town of Floyd, Virginia, surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains,
is the childhood home of The Wildmans. The sibling duo are currently navigating the
release of their debut album, Longtime Friend, for New West Records. And today truly
feels like a full circle moment.
“It’s surreal. It’s weird,” says Elisha Wildman. “We’re really excited for something to
happen, to share our original music. And this feels like a really great jumping point.”
Alongside his sister, Aila, the Americana/indie-folk act have been garnering a lot of
attention in recent years, with Longtime Friend showcasing their interlacing harmonies
and musical virtuosity — the sound itself at the sonic crossroads of Americana,
alt-country and folk.
“It feels like we’ve been building up to this, taking our time and setting all the pieces in
line," Elisha says.
“[With Longtime Friend], we’ve naturally progressed under the indie-folk umbrella,”
Aila adds. “But, we still are doing old-time tunes, where we’ve realized it’s an important
aspect of our musicianship, which ties us to our roots and how we grew up.”
Captured at Applehead Recording in Woodstock, New York, with producer Nicholas
Falk, the 12-song LP was cultivated in the midst of Aila and Elisha each finishing school
at the prestigious Berklee School of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.
