  • Description

    Henry Jamison’s debut album ‘The Wilds,’ an evocative work that showcases his unique storytelling talents, will be out October 27th on Akira Records. The New England native has earned acclaim from Vice Noisey, Consequence Of Sound and NPR’s World Café for his ability to find profundity in the mundane machinations of everyday life — finding deeper meaning in the light from flatscreen televisions, the woosh of grocery store ACs, and Lil Wayne lyrics. It’s a gift that has been passed along his family for generations. Recorded in a mountainside house in Goshen, VT with engineer/co-producer Ethan West, ‘The Wilds’ opens with choral strains that give way to Jamison’s understated prologue on “Bright & Future.” From there, the album takes shape: “The Jacket” seeks to find authentic connection in a synthetic landscape, while “Through A Glass” traces a knowingly petulant infatuation with startling self-awareness. Jamison’s scattered observations coalesce on the honest, uncertain “Real Peach”: “If all is fair in love and war, then I don’t know what we are fighting for.”
