Andy Shauf is "a gifted singer-songwriter. More than that, a gifted storyteller" (NPR Music).He announces Wilds, a surprise new album out on Friday, November 19th via ANTI-, that offers a peek into Shauf's creative process and how the multi-instrumentalist first begins building his songs into more ornately arranged final products. Wilds is a collection of nine songs culled from around fifty tracks recorded by Shauf during the writing of his widely lauded last album, 2020'sThe Neon Skyline. Presented in a near-unfiltered form, the unstudied rawness of the songs on Wilds is a revealing look at Shauf's mindset during the time he was writing Skyline.
