THE WILD HOMESICK CD
A junkyard of minimalistic deconstructed Americana, Adam Gnade’s new record, The Wild Homesick, is a strange, warm, troubled summer record full of doom and affirmations. It’s water moccasins and honeylocust trees, motel swimming pools and fruit bats in the dusk, allusions to suburbs, ranch houses, 40s, trailerparks, and debt. Says Adam, “The Wild Homesick is the story of a group of people who are stuck. They’re stuck for a variety of reasons, stuck in the places they live, stuck in lives they hate, incapacitated by debt; whatever it is, they’re stuck and they’re terrified.”
He continues, “Structurally, I’ve never done a record like this. It’s 10 songs divided into four suites (tracks) of music over the course of less than 20 minutes. Tiny 30 second-long songs packed with music up against uncharacteristically long ones with barely any backing but a little xylophone. Lots of slide guitar and banjo and lots of lyrics. More lyrics than past records. I think I’m finally hitting closer to what I wanted ‘talking-songs’ to be in the first place.” Released by Punch Drunk Records, The Wild Homesick is the first in a series of four seasonal records. This, the summer record, takes place in Texas. —Punch Drunk Records
