VINYL FORMAT. Building on Julius Caesar's artful songcraft, "Wild Love" expands Bill Callahan's lyrical and musical horizons, balancing roughness and polish in just the right amounts. Recorded in a proper studio with Drag City's favorite producer, Rian Murphy, the album benefits from a wider musical palette; instead of Julius Caesar's lo-fi patchwork, the sound is focused into a hypnotic blend of chamber music and indie rock. A finely wrought, magnetic work, full of music and lyrics too artful to be just the outpourings of a completely miserable soul.
