Wild Flag

Wild Flag


So-called “super groups” – prominent musicians from disparate bands who come together to jam -- are often super in theory only, a collection of egos united in the name of commerce. But “Wild Flag” (Merge) is something else entirely. The quartet’s self-titled debut is a combustive mix of indie-rock veterans: two-thirds of Sleater-Kinney (guitarist Carrie Brownstein, drummer Janet Weiss), the guiding force in Helium and countless other projects (Mary Timony) and a key member of the Minders (keyboardist Rebecca Cole).

Whereas Sleater-Kinney was celebrated for its intensity and seriousness, constantly questioning the world around them, Wild Flag channels a different kind of passion. The album is about letting go, getting lost in the moment. Dancing, lusting and abandoning control. Feeling supersedes intellect. Or as Wild Flag sings in “Romance”: “Shake, shimmy, shake!”
