Ulterior's long-awaited debut album! The band toured extensively as support act for
The Sisters Of Mercy and the press was enthusiastic about their per-formance! 'Wild In Wildlife' effortlessly wears its references on its sleeve: It is an unmistakable stadium sound synthesis that sonically falls somewhere between
Simple Minds and
The Sisters Of Mercy. A shimmering noise-noir-pop production all set to
Ulterior's distinct brand of hypnotic chrome overdrive.
Recorded and mixed by
Zlaya Hadzic (
Sonic Youth/
Tortoise) with two tracks mixed by
Robert Harder (
Whitey/
Brian Eno/
Kylie) the end result is seductive hooks and vocals shining clearly amid the storm, all of which is set to a vicious mechanoid foundation of synthesizers and drum machines; a move that has already set
Ulterior crucially apart from their contemporaries.
British NME put them on their front cover and wrote: 'The New Dark Stars painting indie black! Searing our facades of cool with drum machine driven truth!'
