The Changing Wilderness, the seventh studio record from Will Stratton, is our pick of what’s been reviewed on these pages during the past week. Here’s your chance to revisit the review and check out the album via Spotify.
“Like many of us, Will Stratton has had plenty of moments over the last eighteen months in which to reflect.”
“Since his last release (Rosewood Almanac appeared in 2017), the singer from New York state has been processing the fallout of America’s descent into bipartisanship, but also how alterations to his craft might bring about a fresh slant to work which in the past had frequently erred towards introspection.”
“For The Changing Wilderness, the goal shifted: ‘I had to write music that felt like it was engaging with the outside world, rather than focusing on what was going on in my own life.’”
“This departure takes his seventh album out into less assured territory, a journey which unflinchingly takes in his home country’s bruised and often dyspeptic heartlands.”
