Following up from ‘impression’, Michael Sanders has recently returned with his latest effort, ‘the wild’, continuing the path towards the project’s upcoming album, ‘fuzzer’. We are rather hypnotized by it; featuring Sanders’ signature buoyant indie rock character, the record feels playful and uplifting, yet light and gentle, wrapping listeners into a dreamy, fuzzy sonic livery wth occasional nostalgic tinges.
Yet, among such instrumental richness, Michael still places heightened attention to his vocal melodies and songwriting, making ‘the wild’ and its overarching LP ‘fuzzer’ a lyrically substantial offering, catchy and relatable. This widens Sanders’ target audience, with power pop choruses interlaced by psych-lenient atmospheres and vibrant distortions. It’s a rollercoaster, one that ‘fuzzer’ is bound to showcase perfectly.
Speaking about the upcoming record, the Austin-based musician explains: “In creating this record, I set out to make something that would translate well live. I tried to use more restraint than I have in the past. This is my Austin album. Through these songs, I am sonically reflecting back the parts of Austin and its music scene that I see in myself.” Sanders says.
