Ask singer-songwriter Gabriel Birnbaum what inspired Male Models - the diverse newalbum from New York band Wilder Maker - and he'll mention everything from Americannovelist James Salter and the NBA playoffs to Thin Lizzy, and the delicate tightrope ofpositive masculinity. These reference points might sound arbitrary to the uninitiatedlistener, but together they provide some insight into the creation of an album thatsomehow succeeds at being both an apocalyptic novel of ideas, and the most cohesiveparty playlist that you've ever heard.Male Models was recorded live over several days with Birnbaum and longtime collaborators Nick Jost and Sean Mullins.

The remaining tracks have guest vocalists taking the mic, unveiling animpressive lineup that includes Adam Duritz of Counting Crows, Felicia Douglass ofDirty Projectors, Katie Von Schleicher, and Jordan Lee (aka Mutual Benefit).

I wanted to make a record that sounded like a playlist inthis way; it became a kind of songwriting challenge for me.InchMale Models succeeds in capturing the energy of a crowded party and it's accompanying playlist without losing the philosophical underpinnings of it's concept. Musically, italso changes shape constantly. Across the 12 songs of the album, listeners will hearelectri
