reissue on crystal rose colored vinyl - Jackson Stell, better known as Big Wild, has quickly become one of the most exciting new sounds within the dance/electronic music scene. After his hugely successful, Spotify Global Viral Chart topping single ‘Aftergold’ featuring Tove Stryke, he followed with debut EP ‘Invincibe’ in February 2017.
Fast forward to 2019 and Big Wild is finally releasing his highly-anticipated debut album Superdream this week. The album is his most personal work to date, not only because it features his own writing and singing, but because it is a product of his journey battling with and recovering from thyroid cancer. As soon as you hit play, you can hear and feel his full spectrum of emotions through every track, offering a whole variety of sounds and an inspiring listen.
Jackon’s unique, atmospheric sound was first inspired by a trip to Big Sur, California where he was influenced by the state’s wide-open spaces and natural beauty. Opening track and latest single ‘City of Sound’ is a perfect example of this, which would sound at home on a summer road trip down Route 66. Its upbeat, 70’s vibes are brought right up to date thanks to his unique vocals and a big guitar-led chorus.
‘Maker’, ‘Joypunks’ and ‘Heaven’ make up the rest of the album’s singles, boasting psychedelic beats and wildly interesting sounds, with mixed, powerful vocals sometimes reminiscent of Tame Impala.
