Wild Child - Fools - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

After more than a decade of non-stop touring, acclaimed Austin songwriting duo, Kelsey Wilson and Alexander Beggins, quietly stopped touring as Wild Child. Headed in different sonic directions, the pair didn't know if they would ever make another Wild Child record. Then, what felt like the Inchend of the worldInch brought them back together. Pandemic lockdowns closed stages and drained bank accounts. As artists from all backgrounds took their shows to the internet, Wild Child was no different.  Wilson and Beggins got together to practice for a series of online performances for devout fans, and within 30 minutes they wrote the first single for what would accidentally become Wild Child's fifth album, End of the World. Mixed by Matt Pence (Jason Isbell, Elle King) and including contributions from guitarist Charlie Wiles (Paul Cauthen, John Moreland, Orville Peck), End of The World sees the pair find catharsis in art amid compound disasters. As Wilson describes it, InchI just started signing about things that were freaking me out. Wearing a mask for a year. Global warming. There's no heat, no water. It was like a dirge to begin with. But by the end we were all screaming and laughing that, yes, this might be the end of the world, but we're all together right now, making music in my living room by candlelight. It's all OK. Inch

Z. Kodaly - Orchestral Works [COMPACT DISCS] date 09/13/2005

Following the critically acclaimed debut, 'Where Shall We Begin', Foy transitions from introspection & grief to a vibrant, playful, and refreshingly honest perspective on long-term relationships on her sophomore 'Complete Fool'. Recorded with producer Dave Izumi (Ed Harcourt, James Bay, The Magic Numbers) at Echo Zoo Studios, 'Complete Fool' captures Chloe's signature sound layered vocals, rock-infused folk, and sweeping cinematic strings. The album embraces a creative freedom that shines through whimsical vocal touches and the warmth of flat-wound bass grooves. The result is a dynamic and emotionally rich collection of songs that balances euphoric highs with quiet vulnerability, brought to life by Chloe's striking voice and poetic lyricism.
