DMV staple Wylder has released a new video from their debut album, Rain and Laura. The track, Bitter, is a lighthearted and sweet song that evokes optimism in the face of adversity, conveying a feeling like getting over a somewhat messy break-up. Smooth vocals, steady guitars, and buoyant keys meld into a delightful song masking pain and sharing hope. The video calls upon the song’s lyrical content to tell its story of a man trying to recover a part of himself lost in a recent uncoupling, at times resembling Pee Wee Herman’s Big Adventure and others recalling every rom-com where the ex-boyfriend goes crazy. It’s fun, refreshing, and should be loved by any fan of Wylder’s persona. Give it a watch and check out their next show at Picker’s Supply in Fredericksburg. -Jonathan Goodwin
