The countrified lilt of classic Laurel Canyon folk rock can be discerned in the lush, slow-burning songs of the Los Angeles quintet The Wild Reeds, but there's far more brewing in their tender-but-tough music.

Led by three vocalists with sublime harmonies — Kinsey Lee, Sharon Silva and Mackenzie Howell — the group is on the brink of releasing a new album, The World We Built, on April 7. The yearning beauty of songs like "Capable" showcases the band's mighty vocal arrangments and rapturous unpredictability.
