Singled Out: The Young Wild's Moment Goes

Today Bryan Bangarter of The Young Wild tells us about their new single "Moment Goes" which comes from the upcoming EP 'For Now Not Forever.' Here is the story:

"Moment Goes is a special tune for THE YOUNG WILD. It's not only the first single from our upcoming record but also represents a shift that our band tried to make with our sound. I spent a lot of time sitting at my piano trying to write a traveling song. Anytime I'm on the road I feel a bit like a drifter, in the sense that I never establish any roots with the place I'm passing through. I have no history there, just a moment and then I'm off. So maybe this song carries that theme of drifting as well as change and even lost love, then in the chorus its all about the release of all the things we hold on to.

In early 2013 we were going through some lineup changes and I had been re-tooling Moment Goes for several months before bringing it to the band. I found some old synthesizers and sample pads that I wanted to incorporate into our sound. 'Moment Goes' was the first to get this treatment, taking a standard verse/chorus/verse/chorus pop style tune and trying filter it through an era of tools and equipment that was older than me. For whatever reason it went over well with the group and I embraced this approach for everything that would go on the record. I see why musicians have an appreciation for vintage instruments or things that are sometimes thought to be discarded. There's a wealth of great sounds in these old instruments and you can hear several of them in the music from The Young Wild."
