BRETT ANDERSON
Wilderness

“I made this album with the purest of intentions: to create a beautiful suite of songs untethered by second-guessing markets and playlists and music biz bullshit. I have no record company, no publisher and a smaller audience but I have never been more confident and focused about what I am doing as an artist” Brett Anderson, June 2008.

Recorded and mixed in 7 days and featuring only voice, strings and piano, “Wilderness” is the new album from Brett Anderson and heralds an amazing new chapter in his life. Throughout his career it would be fair to say that Brett Anderson has never done anything by halves. At strategic points he has performed such a volte- face with his music that it has sometimes been hard for fans and critics to know what he is going to do next. This record is no exception, and is the most astounding record Brett has made in his entire career.

And now comes “Wilderness”, the most haunting record you will hear all year.
Detailing a love affair, the record displays all the heightened emotions of love and thus is joyous, bleak, euphoric, and reflective – and very beautiful. It’s a record that is intense and stands outside of the mainstream and is all the better for it. Like all classic albums, it’s an album Brett Anderson had to make at this point in his life.

“Wilderness” is Brett Anderson's second solo album.
