Wolfchild, The Years
If you need a reminder that love and grief are two shades of the same color, wrap yourself in Wolfchild’s latest album, The Years. With a voice of gentle yearning, Gabriel Wolfchild sings songs of the human cycles that frame our lives and the grander cosmic cycles that transcend our collective understanding. Wolfchild’s brother Elion provides velvety vocal harmonies and a shifting landscape of acoustic guitar, strings, flute and accordion, as together the two revel in abundant textures that both make and break The Years’ delicate, delicious tension. Occasional group singalongs and handclaps recall Wolfchild’s history as an intimate house show band. This is music made to comfort, confront and convince even the most cynical that despite it all everything is gonna be alright.
