Map the WIlderness

Map the Wilderness craft anthemic, emotionally charged songs that pair evocative lyricism with an infectious, upbeat energy. Their songwriting is both personal and reflective, drawing from life and experiences growing up in Wakefield, West Yorkshire—capturing the grit, charm, and changing landscapes of their hometown through a mix of nostalgia, resilience, and rebellion. Their name, Map the Wilderness, reflects the heart of their music: a journey through the highs and lows of life, embracing both the uncertainty and the beauty of the unknown with a sense of hopeful melancholy.

After honing their sound through electrifying live shows and receiving positive early feedback, their much-anticipated debut album is finally set for release. Painstakingly crafted, the record showcases their signature style: thought-provoking yet accessible, melancholic yet uplifting, blending raw emotion with soaring melodies and dynamic arrangements.

With a sound that balances intimate storytelling and widescreen ambition, Map the Wilderness are ready to make their mark—bringing both heart and energy to the indie scene, one anthemic song at a time.
