FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The eclectic, creative composer of
digital music known as Along Came a Wolf has released his flagship
new EP record, “Last Day of Summer,” to uniformly positive
reviews and clamorous fan acclaim. It has been released on the Lost
Astronaut music label. The album is comprised of six original tracks
for an approximate total listening time of 36 minutes, making for
what is very nearly a full-length Along Came a Wolf record. Endlessly
fun, stunningly colorful and danceable in the extreme, “Last Day of
Summer” by Along Came a Wolf is one of the year's best EDM records
by far.
“Last Day of Summer” can be easily
described but is far better when experienced firsthand. Its beats are
infectious, full, and play deep in the groove. Its melodies boast
many of the best qualities of modern dubstep, yet keep true to
traditional principles of digital music making, also (the Chemical
Brothers and KLF would be proud). Opening with the creepy “Strange
Lights,” which seems to use actual samples of radio traffic
regarding a possible alien visitation, ACW's EP kicks into ultra-high
gear somewhere around the three minute mark and doesn't let up. By
the end of this first track, the listener is entirely aware that
Skrillex has nothing – absolutely nothing – on Along Came a Wolf.
Other crown jewels on “Last Day of
Summer” are the title track, “Last Day of Summer,” and the coup
de grace that is “Final Boss.” The former is simply beautiful,
just gorgeous, feeling and sounding not unlike the warmth of a
setting sun on a particularly comfortable and relaxing day. “Final
Boss,” however, is the real treasure, and sure to be the fan
favorite for this installment of music by Along Came a Wolf.
Utilizing loads and loads of 8-bit video game samples (one would
swear some Atari were in there, too) “Final Boss” is explosive,
rollicking, zooming, blasting and flying sky high for six minutes and
change, all of which are some of the most enjoyable moments on this
powerful little record.
All in all, “Last Day of Summer” is
an announcement and an arrival. EDM listeners have someone truly
special in Along Came a Wolf, and he's not going to be unknown for
very long. Get in early, children. This is a very true story.
“Last Day of Summer” by Along Came
a Wolf is available online worldwide.
