FENN WILSON - Ghost Heroin LP
Fenn Wilson emerges from the burgeoning underground indie folk sound coming out of Melbourne. His debut full-length Ghost Heroin expertly navigates the bumpy road from darkness to catharsis and drew reviews dripping with superlatives.
"I can’t get over how good it is. It’s not often the elements of writing, performance; arrangement, orchestration and production coalesce into something you can actually describe as ‘perfect’. This track (Lost My Way) is rare." - Jonathan Alley, Triple R
Expanding on Fenn’s accomplished 2015 EP 'Tales of the Black Dog', which showcased Fenn's rhythmic guitar playing and husky bass-baritone, the material on 'Ghost Heroin' incorporates additional backing such as bass, cello and vocal harmonies. However, Wilson's vocal chops rightfully hog the spotlight throughout this album thanks to producer Shannon Bourne, who was careful to ensure that enough space was left within the arrangements to highlight this artist's extraordinary singing ability. As such, recording sessions for this set of ten tracks took place in stages.
