Andy Shauf releasing new album ‘Wilds’ this week (listen to “Jaywalker”)
Andy Shauf released a new single, "Spanish on the Beach," a few weeks ago and now he's announced that it's part of new album, Wilds, which will be out this Friday, September 24 via ANTI-. Its nine songs were all from the same sessions that gave us last year's The Neon Skyline, though Wilds is less polished. Shauf played all the instruments on the album, came up with the arrangements "on the fly," and laid it all down on “a little tape machine” in his Toronto studio.
The narrative of the album centers around a character named Judy, who appears in a dream in the album's second single, the loping, folky "Jaywalker," which you can listen to now.
Wilds is out digitally on Friday, but the vinyl and CD editions don't drop till November 19. Andy is on tour right now, playing Boulder tonight, and has dates with Hand Habits before hitting L.A. for a show at Hollywood Forever Cemetery on September 30 with Lord Huron (tickets). He'll also play Levitation and Desert Daze later this fall. All dates are listed below.
