"It's that collision of beauty and imperfection, of hope and human frailty that defines Wilderado's gorgeous new EP, 'Favors. ' Recorded with production mastermind Phil Ek (Father John Misty, Fleet Foxes), the collection ushers in a new era for the Tulsa rockers as their already-epic sound pushes into more nuanced and mature territory than ever before. An arresting confluence of soaring melodies, lush harmonies, and driving indie rock, 'Favors' is the band's most collaborative work yet, bearing the distinctive writing influence and unique sonic sensibilities of all four members (lead singer/guitarist Max Rainer, bassist/vocalist Colton Dearing, guitarist/vocalist Tyler Wimpee, and drummer Justin Kila). The group released a pair of EPs-'Misty Shrub' and 'Latigo'-in 2016 and a collection of singles in 2017 to widespread critical acclaim, with Consequence of Sound hailing the music as "glorious" and Pastelaudingits "South-Central Americana-meets-Laurel Canyon vibe.
