One of the wonderful things about discovering the music of Will Stratton is that it’s such a vast world within a handful of albums, and diving into it can be a thrilling and multifaceted experience. There is the eloquent, off-kilter arrangements of songs like “Colt New Marine”. The rustic, acoustic fingerpicking in “Helmet Pine Singer” is reminiscent of 1970s British folk guitarists. The warm, engaging shuffle of “Manzanita” sounds like a long-lost Josh Ritter single. With a new album,
The Changing Wilderness, around the corner, Stratton adds another collection of songs to his repertoire, ones that blend in rather seamlessly with the rest of his work but are also undeniably tied into the world climate of the last few years.
