‘Voltage’ is one of the most striking records we have ever heard; it could be described as ‘quirky’, in a very positive way. You see, this is an album that develops its own narrative, following a path that’s personal and authentic. While the production and compositional allure behind ‘Voltage’ is unique, its influences and origin make a lot of sense when considering the two talented creatives behind it all: six-string electric cellist Wytold and multi-instrumentalist Jerry Tolk. Longtime collaborators, the two musicians have now got together to write original material, tracks steeped in electronic fervour and experimental flair.
‘Voltage’ is exactly that. Throughout thirteen episodes, the album blends cellos, guitars, and electronic beats, all with intense melodism and aleatory character. The result is music oscillating between heartwarming folk sentiment, elegant classical timbres, and modern textures. Crowning it all, we find Wytold and Jerry Tolk’s vocals, here delivering relatable and evocative storytelling. ‘Voltage’ is the definition of a complete record.
Delving deeper into the creative ethos that propels the album, we are told: “‘Voltage’ offers an honest look at what it means to lose your way and to find something better in the aftermath. It speaks directly to anyone feeling alone, stuck, or trapped, offering validation and a path forward rooted in creative partnership and shared experience.” Highly peculiar and original, ‘Voltage’ offers an immersive balance between aural virtuosity and meaningful lyricism.
