soil

soil is the debut studio album by the American experimental musician Josiah Wise, alias serpentwithfeet, released on June 8, 2018.
It has been able to replicate the widespread critical success of Wise’s first EP blisters by obtaining, for example, a great 87/100 score on Metacritic and the fifth place on Bandcamp’s Top 100 Albums List of 2018.

During an interview with Exclaim! about his new album, the artist described the creative process of the LP:

Me and the engineer talked a lot about getting a warmer, bigger sound. On this album, the sound is a lot thicker. I’ve just become bigger as a person. I’m louder and a lot bolder. I have this incredible wingspan.

I had to think, “What does this song need? What do you want? Where do you want to go?” And the songs changed so much. My songs are organisms. They need water, light and space.
