Ruiner is the second album, follow-up to 2017Æs I Go ': ,: Missing In My Sleep. :, : : :' ': ,: :, : With producer Andrew Sarlo (Bon Iver, Big Thief, SASAMI) at the : :' helm, WilsenÆs new album Ruiner dissolves both the heavy reverb ': ,: and ethereal moments found on their first recording by instead :, : letting the bandÆs essentials û drums, bass, guitar, and vocals : :' û have centre stage. In the albumÆs opening moments, you might ': ,: hear a knotted wash of guitars and Wilson softly humming, for a :, : very brief moment returning you to their dreamscape but sharply, : :' a driving rock rhythm comes into focus and so too does a ': ,: revitalised band. :, : : :' ': ,: :, : ôMaking this record was somewhat of a coming of age process,ö : :' Wilson explains.ôWeÆre getting older and becoming more ': ,: deliberate, less precious, less measured. Overthinking less and :, : trusting instincts more.ö : :' ': ,: Although Wilsen havenÆt lost their fragility entirely, on Ruiner :, : they mainly use bolder sounds and play with gritty textures and : :' jarring grooves. See æBirds IIÆ which centres on a piercing ': ,: guitar line or the crunchy æDownÆ which is powered by a riotous :, : percussion section. Wilsen are moving with purpose towards : :' something, not away from it. ': ,: :, : For Wilson, sheÆs moving towards self-acceptance, ôI have an : :' inherent shyness,ö she says. ôI guess IÆm acknowledging and ': ,: finding a way with shyness as I get older.ö Throughout the :, : record, Wilson comes to terms with her many sides including her : :' introversion and her inner monster which the album title refers ': ,: to on æFeeling FancyÆ, Wilson, with her distinctively hushed :, : vocals overpowering the trackÆs clamorous instrumentals, offers : :' listeners a powerful, and celebratory, declaration, ôQuietÆs ': ,: not a fault to weed out.ö :, : : :' When writing the lyrics, Wilson says that she trusted her ': ,: instincts and ôseized whatever emotion was happening at the time :, : and ran with it.ö The songs, as a result, are WilsonÆs most : :' honest; her openness is especially noticeable on the recordÆs ': ,: quieter tracks when Wilson is alone with her guitar; ôI woke up :, : in a life not mine,ö she murmurs on the spellbinding closer : :' æMoonÆ. ': ,: :, : But even in the loudest moments of Ruiner, Wilson doesnÆt : :' retreat into cacophony. She maintains her vulnerability and ': ,: beautifully captures intimate moments like the brief peace found :, : in a pair of eyes across the room or the exhausted resolution of : :' a relationship. ': ,: :, : ôItÆs so dramatic, isnÆt it?ö laughs Wilson about the title : :' Ruiner. ôAnother option was æWorthlessÆ,ö she jokes. But ': ,: despite the air of melodrama, Ruiner aptly characterizes the :, : process Wilson and the band took to make their album: they had : :' to destroy the walls they built to reveal their authentic ': ,: selves. :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 0 \/
