| Description: | Fat Possum Records and punk icons X team up to reissue newly remastered versions - courtesy of Jason Ward and Chicago Mastering - of four of the band's classic albums including Los Angeles (1980), Wild Gift (1981), Under The Big Black Sun (1982), and More Fun In The New World (1983). Four decades after their inception, one thing is clear: X was not only one of the most influential bands to crash out of the punk movement of the late '70s, but the group's music continues to be sonically groundbreaking today. Songs written during the group's inception are as relevant and inventive today as they were in 1977. The band's early albums, Los Angeles, produced by Ray Manzarek of the Doors, Wild Gift, and Under the Big Black Sun explored dark love and an even darker L.A. with the unflinching eye of a Raymond Chandler novel. Subsequent efforts like More Fun in the New World found the band continuing to grow musically and politically, fearlessly mixing genres without ever losing it's center.Wild Gift is the acclaimed second studio album by the American punk rock band X, released in 1981. This CD edition brings back the raw energy and poetic lyricism that made "Wild Gift" a landmark in punk history. Featuring standout tracks like "White Girl," "We're Desperate," and "Adult Books," this album showcases X's unique blend of punk urgency with rockabilly influences and sharp storytelling. The band's chemistry?anchored by Exene Cervenka?s evocative vocals and John Doe?s driving bass?has earned them critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase worldwide. Over their career, X has been recognized as pioneers of Los Angeles' early punk scene, influencing countless artists across genres.
