Brooklyn-based artist Elijah Wolf has released a new single “Fading” from his forthcoming album Forgiving Season that arrives on June 23 via Mtn Laurel Recording Co. The song was co-written with Wolf’s longtime creative partners Sam Cohen, who produced the album, and drummer Joshua Jeager (Angel Olsen). Forgiving Season is now available for pre-order on Bandcamp, Rough Trade US and Rough Trade UK.
Following the emotional high of his 2021 full length album Brighter Lighting (which featured Wilco’s Nels Cline on guitar) and a run of prestigious tour dates and performances at Newport Folk Festival, Austin City Limits and The End of the Road in England, Wolf returned to New York directionless and filled with self-doubt, unable to write or record. After many months, he finally called producer Sam Cohen who encouraged him to come to his studio and throw out anything he had written and demoed and start from scratch.
“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,” Wolf explains. “In the end, I wrote a record about vulnerability, about the ways that mechanisms of self-protection can make you miss the good around you. It’s about allowing the walls to come down and accepting your own failures and imperfections
The result is a vulnerable 10-song collection that is a testament to collaboration and experimentation. Forgiving Season features the previously released song “Holding This In” that Atwood Magazine called “An instantly memorable song with an easy hook, an energetic guitar line, and powerful vocals… A song full of vulnerability, heart, and raw, beautifully unresolved emotions.”
Forgiving Season follows Wolf’s 2021 full length Brighter Lighting, his standalone single “Yesterday, With You” which featured Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold on vocals, and an Aquarium Drunkard Lagniappe Sessions release.
