Freeload: Desolation Wilderness, “Boardwalk Theme” MP3
- story THE FADER
The last time we were on a boardwalk a kid fell off his big wheel because the back wheel got stuck in a gaping hole in the planks. We’re not going to say where it was, but it rhymes with Boney Highland. Going by this song, the dudes in Desolation Wilderness probably have a pretty different and (hopefully) more idealized view of boardwalks. “Boardwalk Theme” reminds us of sunsets, seagulls, fishermen and couples eating ice cream. Actual boardwalks remind us of freak shows, cigarette butts, giant piña coladas and gross public bathrooms.

Exclusive Freeload: Desolation Wilderness, “And All The Boys Looked”
- story THE FADER
Desolation Wilderness‘ White Light Strobing sounds like relaxing in a beach house with some wind chimes, a guitar and a million different effects pedals. In fact, every song on White Light Strobing is like its own mini beach vacation—washed in reverb and impossibly relaxing. Desolation Wilderness main dude Nicolass Zwart has put together an album that can soundtrack every vacation ever, which also causes us to put it on in the office, talk about how nice it is, and then blend margaritas all day. That’s right, White Light Strobing is actually so calming that it puts us in instant vacation mode. The album is out November 4th on K Records, just in time to pretend it isn’t cold outside.
