After navigating the labyrinthine musical chambers of their 2023 modern exotica album “Palace Of A Thousand Sounds”, Whatitdo Archive Group has returned with their first-ever holiday offering—venturing into the darker side of Christmas folklore with their new ice-cold 45, “Wild Man.”

Drawing inspiration from a global archetypical myth of the same name, Whatitdo Archive Group examines the ancient story of the Wild Man—the hairy, half-human, half-beast that stalks the shadows of humanity’s shared primeval past. Listeners already know the myth of the Wild Man, a folktale that goes by many names: The Yeti of the Himalayas, the Bigfoot of North America, and, of course, Krampus of Eastern Europe—a yuletide beast with a reputation as a child-devouring “Anti-Claus” who now finds himself the subject of Whatitdo’s latest musical exploration.

After the band’s “Palace Of A Thousand Sounds” was named 2023’s “Best Library Record” by PopMatters Magazine, their new “Wild Man” 7” capitalizes on the same creative process that shaped their last record, while now exploring new conceptual territory. By drawing inspiration from archaic global folklore and again utilizing their peculiar recording techniques, W.A.G. has crafted a truly unique holiday offering that unearths the darker, more primal undercurrents of the Christmas tradition.

“Wild Man” will be available on November 28th via Snowflakes Christmas Singles and Record Kicks.
