Hollow wood memento mori lyrics11/8/2023 ![]() There are some allusions to Stranger Things and the character Eleven, whose actress, Millie Bobby Brown, may or may not be Will's daughter (or may she? The verdict is still out, although Will has made various conflicting reports of this claim's verify). "…well, better than the alternative" is a track we can't really discuss without deferring to Will here, in the interview we conducted with the artist a few days ago. His newest album, The Normal Album, is out today! A photograph of Will Wood at his piano, performing live. Dysphoria is a real issue, and Will Wood tackles the thought process behind it with aplomb. And "I/Me/Myself" (another bonafide banger, if we're being frank) gives a similar 50's tone to "Suburbia Overture." Still, it deals with some issues of a more pert tone than the beauty and splendor of suburbia. "Laplace's Angel (Hurt People? Hurt People!)" feels remarkable in its darkly-smooth tango of skeletal delights. The song is highly-upbeat and invites the listener to enter the mind of the musician, which is an even more "proper" introduction to the album than "Overture." (The author wishes to note that this is one of their favorite new track from this album). In "2econd 2ight 2eer", we are given a different sound, one that harks back to ska and other grooves. Nevertheless, we are brought back to the reality that this isn't a 1950's candy bar we are dealing with, but rather, the musical stylings of an insanely-biting mind. It even sounds a bit like the band Man Man, with whom Will Wood and the Tapeworms had a one time toured with. But as the music transitions from the "Greetings" segment to "(Vampire) Culture," things get dark, gritty, and remarkably more along the lines of Will Wood's previous work with the Tapeworms. As the Overture begins, the song takes an interesting turn with the music starting out very smooth and rather what we would expect from a Shake Shack from the 1950s. The album begins with a doo-wop daydream in "Suburbia Overture / Greetings from Mary Bell Township! / (Vampire) Culture / Love Me, Normally". Here's what we think of it! The cover for Will Wood's newest album, The Normal Album, out today! ![]() The Normal Album is out today, and we got the chance to review it. However, the same sardonic bite can be seen in each of his tracks therein, showing that no matter how different the content Will Wood puts out, he's definitely still got quality in spades. His previous albums, Everything Is A Lot and Self-Ish, show Will from a very different light than his latest release, The Normal Album. Avant-pop musician Will Wood is an artist of the highest caliber.
