Wilder Woods Unveils ‘Curioso’: A Genre-Bending Masterpiece of Anthemic American Music

“Happy to have the first couple of songs from Curioso out in the world,” stated Rinehart. “Both of these songs are really about the tension I think we all feel between the way we wish the world was and the way it actually is. Maybe it’s naïve to think that music can actually help with that, but it does for me. Love y’all.”

Wilder Woods, the solo moniker of NEEDTOBREATHE’s Bear Rinehart, is set to release his highly anticipated album ‘Curioso’ in early 2025 through Dualtone Records. This genre-bending masterpiece is a testament to Rinehart’s eclectic sound, which seamlessly blends elements of rock, roots, and American music. The album’s first two singles, “Hide Anymore” and “Devil In My Eyes,” offer a glimpse into Rinehart’s sonic exploration, showcasing his ability to craft anthemic rock & roll and rootsy barn-burners with ease.

‘Curioso’ is a deeply personal project, inspired by Rinehart’s childhood fascination with his grandmother’s curio cabinet. This album is a collection of Rinehart’s musical keepsakes, featuring a wide mix of texture, tone, and razor-sharp songwriting. With collaborations from esteemed producers and songwriters, ‘Curioso’ is a testament to Rinehart’s growth as a musician and his willingness to push boundaries. This album is not just a showcase of Rinehart’s vocal firepower but also a reflection of his enthusiasm for music and his desire to explore new sounds. With ‘Curioso,’ Wilder Woods has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
