Recorded with acclaimed producer Sam Cohen (Kevin Morby, Andrew Combs) and an all-star band including Wilco guitarist Nels Cline, the album marks the start of an adventurous new chapter for Wolf, who moves beyond the spare and isolated bedroom folk of his earlier work here in favor of a more collaborative, immersive sound. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe record’s arrangements are lush and textured, fueled by vintage synthesizers and psychedelic guitars that come together in swirling Technicolor landscapes, and the writing is bold and ambitious to match, hinting at everything from Fleetwood Mac to Kurt Vile as it reckons with doubt and hope, anxiety and comfort, loneliness and connection. There is nostalgia and longing in the music, to be sure, but ultimately ‘Brighter Lighting’ is a meditation on growing up and being present, on gaining perspective by sitting still in a world that, for all its painful flaws and shortcomings, remains a place of infinite possibility and wonder. ‘Brighter Lighting’ follows Wolf’s critically lauded 2018 debut, ‘On The Mtn Laurel Rd.’ Recorded almost entirely alone in a small Brooklyn bedroom, the album grappled with loss and letting go and introduced Wolf as an evocative writer with a gift for cinematic scene setting. The Wild Honey Pie hailed the record’s “richly detailed lyrics and emotional vocal delivery,” while Paste praised its “flowing beauty,” and the music helped earn Wolf festival bookings on both sides of the pond, from Mountain Jam to End of the Road.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trash Casual","offers":[{"title":"Red | LP","offer_id":50381754401099,"sku":"1102893","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Books","offer_id":50381751910731,"sku":"1114333","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/571aa0ab-8b6d-4634-9cb0-d9fba7ee4517_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726236354"},{"product_id":"two-bar-house-music-and-chord","title":"Two Bar House Music and Chord","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe third and final instalment in Frits' 'Two Bar House Music \u0026amp; Chord Stuff' sees him continue to showcase his distinct style of lo-fi, wonky house - both quirky \u0026amp; unconventional, yet instantly endearing in the same breath. Served up first in Frits' melting pot, 'Theme 09' kicks things off with a shuffling, UKG esque rhythm and RnB flexed vocal snippets, alongside floaty arps and that 'chord stuff' that swells and stabs in the mix. Throw in a weighty bass and Frits' trademark analogue wonkiness and you've got a prime example of a Wentink wobbler. Next up, 'Theme 10' hits you with an organ melody reminiscent of a warped Crystal Waters, before twisting and turning into an edgy off-kilter house track. A glitchy synth line, bouncing bass and dreamy pads will hook you till the end.Flip it and 'Theme 11' offers up a chuggier affair where glistening arps are interspersed with squelchy and sustained synths. Elements and effects are combined throughout, mesmerising you with a glimpse into the wonky world of the Frits'. Closing it out Wentink leaves you with a quirky club stomper, coupling a gritty bassline, saturated loops and off kilter, lo-fi stabs all tied together with a driving kick. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F337765732\u0026amp;show_artwork=true\u0026amp;color=f2667e\u0026amp;buying=false\u0026amp;theme_color=232323\u0026amp;font=Helvetica+Neue\u0026amp;show_user=false\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wolf Music","offers":[{"title":"12\" - 1051420","offer_id":50402245181771,"sku":"1051420","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/05ab31fe-e3c3-49f3-8278-28d649cc0d30_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726536800"},{"product_id":"forgiving-season","title":"Forgiving Season","description":"\u003cp\u003eElijah Wolf thought his second album might be his last.  “The thought of moving on from music was terrifying, but so was the thought of staying,” he says.  After an international headline tour for the critically-lauded Brighter Lighting, adrenaline and momentum vaporised once he landed back in New York, where Wolf faced the punishing realities of the music industry. He tumbled into an isolating period of self-doubt compounded by a series of professional losses.  “I had a few major blows to my music project that left me feeling so vulnerable and let down. As a creator, I felt really used and strung along. I put this pressure on myself to create something bigger and better. I tried so hard to write music, but the moment it was forced, nothing came out. I felt such intense emptiness. The idea of making another record became a task I felt was too overwhelming,\" Wolf says.  Feeling numb and directionless, he grasped at fragments of lyrics and melodies.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"As winter became spring, I finally began demoing out some of the musical ideas I had pieced together throughout the year. It was an intense process, facing rejection and anxiety, but one that I felt needed to be completed,” he says.  He knew just where to turn for guidance.  “I called up Sam Cohen, a dear friend who produced Brighter Lighting. He had created such a safe space for me while recording our last record that I knew he would be able to help me navigate this moment. He was so open, and he invited me to come to the studio to begin piecing these ideas and songs together to create something new. In that moment, I felt like I needed to see this through. This would be a chance to dig deep into myself and figure out what had been going on with me during this dark chapter in my life,” he explains.   “At Sam’s direction, we made a decision to take a leap and not recreate anything I had done already. We wanted to get away from the folk-rock band sound of traditional instruments in a room together. We decided to start each song by experimenting with synthesisers, samples, and cool effects. We looked for new song arrangements and structures,” he says.  \u003ci\u003eForgiving Season\u003c\/i\u003e was emotionally taxing and a real challenge,” he says. Stretching in new directions both musically and emotionally has resulted in Elijah Wolf as he’s never been heard before, a transcendent collection both refreshing and comforting, evoking natural elements from this planet and beyond.
