“You can’t avoid grief and pain and death,” says guitarist/vocalist Isaac Horn. “Our attempts to avoid those things just rob us of the opportunity to enjoy being alive. We end up missing out on all the hope and love and joy that’s right in front of us.”

Make It Out Alive, The Arcadian Wild’s fourth and most enthralling album yet, is a celebration of all that hope and love and joy. Recorded in Nashville with producer/mixer Micah Tawlks (Judah & The Lion, The Brook & The Bluff), the collection transforms the ache of loss into a stunning work of resilience and gratitude, one rooted in a profound appreciation for the fragile humanity that binds us all in this life and beyond. The songs here are more collaborative than ever before, with fiddler/vocalist Bailey Warren, mandolinist/vocalist Lincoln Mick, and Horn co-writing together for the first time, and the recordings are lush and expansive, stepping beyond the limitations of live performance to craft an immersive, densely layered soundscape that blurs the lines between folk, country, bluegrass, choral, and pop music. The result is an album that embraces our mortality as a gift, a cathartic, deeply personal reckoning with life’s impermanence that learns to find purpose and meaning in sorrow and mourning.
