BEAT KEEPER — carey McGraw, drummer and vocalist for Wild Child, keeps the beat during their album release show on Oct. 27. The atmosphere at The Parish felt like an intimate house party.

There has been quite a buzz and following about Austin-based, indie-folk, pop group Wild Child. This group has an amazing vocal duo, Kelsey Wilson and Alexander Beggins singing simple and beautiful lyrics, and a six-piece band that plays instruments ranging from drums, banjo, strings and many more.

You can't help but notice the raw talent exhibited in their new album "Pillow Talk," which went on sale Oct. 25.

The infusion of instruments and smooth vocals take you to a relaxing state while their lyrics paint a realistic picture of pain and love.

Through the lyrics of their twisted song "The Tale of You & Me," you experience all the things that make Wild Child so unique. They have a great combination of instrumental solos and sad lyrical content.

In their song "Real Estate," you hear Beggins' point of view of heartbreak, while in "Bridges Burning" Wilson wants him to wait on her even though she knows the bridge between them is burning

fastE. very song on their 15-track album is honest, whimsical and just darn right perfectly placed together. It also helped that Grammy- winning engineer Erik Wofford helped master their debut album.

The photography for their album is simply exceptional, creative and shows the diversity of their band.

Wild Child plans to continue performing and touring nationally, so don't miss an opportunity to enjoy them performing their new album live. For more information about their album and upcoming shows visit wildchildsounds.com.
