Wilder Maker is an American indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2014.[1] The band consists of Gabriel Birnbaum (guitar and vocals), Katie Von Schleicher (keyboards, guitar, vocals), Nick Jost (bass), Sean Mullins (drums) and Adam Brisbin (guitar). They have released one full-length album and two EPs.

History[edit]

Wilder Maker began releasing music in 2014 with a self-released EP entitled Everyday Crimes Against Objects of Desire.[2] The EP was premiered by Stereogum.[3] In 2017, Wilder Maker signed with Saddle Creek and released the single "New Streets."[4] The release brought wider attention to the band and Spin Magazine called the single "unambiguously catchy, offering the band’s idiosyncratic perspective on the more silken side of ’70s radio rock."[5][6] "Only Child," the b-side to "New Streets" was recorded by Bryan Pugh at Rubber Tracks in Brooklyn, and features the guitar work of Will Graefe of Okkervil River.[7][8]

In 2018, Wilder Maker released their first full-length album entitled Zion.[9][10] Following the release of Zion, Wilder Maker toured the United States, performing in more than 20 cities across the country.[11][12] In 2019, Wilder Maker performed at Underwater Sunshine Festival in New York City.[13]
