Wild Things is the upcoming third album by New Zealand musician Ladyhawke. The album is due to be released by Polyvinyl on 3 June 2016.^[2] It is her first release since 2012's Anxiety.

Background and recording

The album was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Tommy English, who was introduced to Ladyhawke by tattoo artist and friend Kat Von D.^[3] "We sat in a room and would jam around, play around with ideas. Or he'll sit there making a beat. I instantly knew when something inspired me. That's when we'd run with it." Ladyhawke explained. Speaking about her first new material since 2012's Anxiety, Ladyhawke stated that the reason why she felt there was such a big gap in her album releases was that because she didn't want to release anything she wasn't proud of. Prior to the recording of Wild Things, Ladyhawke had actually recorded more "darker" material but decided the material truly didn't reflect her real self.^[4]
