Venice, California artist Big Wild has teamed up with Swedish electro pop star Tove Styrke for new single “Aftergold”
ahead of his first ever U.S. headline tour starting this Friday, April 8th. He
first teased the track in a recent mixtape that also included
forthcoming official remixes for Chvrches and Snakehips.
The new single version sees “Aftergold” reimagined as a bonafide pop
extravaganza with the addition of 22-year-old artist and vocalist Tove
Styrke who released her critically lauded second album Kiddo last
year. The main-stage sized sonics and happy-go-lucky swagger of the
beat are married with equally majestic and effortlessly addictive
melody, making for this years ultimate feel-good party stereo track.

Big Wild originally introduced “Aftergold” in 2015 on ODESZA’s Foreign Family Collective. The track garnered over six million SoundCloud streams and a staggering eight million Spotify plays. Big Wild rightfully took out a spot on Dancing Astronaut’s “25 Artists to Watch in 2016” list on the strength of this terrific track.

This month, Big Wild will begin playing the track out live on his upcoming
spring headline tour which is already selling out across the country and
includes a stop at the Do Lab Stage at Coachella.  Tickets are available HERE and a full list of dates is below.
