Texas' Wild Child make complex, often exuberant indie pop that incorporates international folk influences. After releasing their debut album, 2011's Pillow Talk, they were named Best Indie and Best Folk Band at the 2013 SXSW Festival in advance of their follow-up, that year's The Runaround. Group members numbered over a half-dozen by the time they recorded their anxious yet typically effervescent fifth album, End of the World, in 2023.
