Phillip (Wildernesses) - "I wrote this song 10 years before releasing it"
<p>I’m joined by Phillip from Wildernesses, a band blending post-rock, folk, shoegaze, alt rock and dreamo.</p><p>We start with their song “Summertime, 1917” from their newly released album Growth: a story of love, loss, and memory told through a frame narrative that feels both distant and deeply personal. Phil shares how the idea first came to him over 10 years ago, and why it took so long to become what it is today.</p><p>We also talk about “Blood Bank” by Bon Iver, and how a simple, almost mundane image can say everything about closeness without ever stating it directly.</p><p>Follow Wildernesses: @wildernessesband</p><p>Follow Into the Cave: @intothecavepod</p>
