Reviews of Wind In The Wires

Rating Summary
n/a by www.stylusmagazine.com As an album, WIW seems to have sprung fully-formed from a single night’s restlessness; often more organic than much of his debut, but still with a steady electro-backed pulse, its pacing and sequencing flow like water beneath a frozen creek, barely seen and mostly imagined.

n/a by www.playlouder.com 'Wind In The Wires' is a magnificent record full of the language, imagery and sound of travel. Read more

n/a by www.drownedinsound.com It’s what Bright Eyes coulda done if he put the songs off I’m Wide Awake onto the canvas of Digital Ash. Read more

n/a by www.adequacy.net At 21, he has the raconteur’s wit of a younger Nick Cave still buoyed by the weightlessness of possibility. Read more
n/a by Popmatters Wind in the Wires finds Wolf still learning how to harness his undeniable talent. While all this soaring, wind-catching, and destiny molding makes for some seriously inspired (and near-unclassifiable) music, it still means he's capable of losing the thread. Read more
n/a by www.almostcool.org Wind In The Wires just feels a bit more hesitant than Lycanthropy, and while there are some great tracks, it doesn't quite have the same energy that his debut did. Read more
n/a by www.tinymixtapes.com There's a professional, assured feeling [to] it, but its nagging lack of innovation or [a] truly memorable melody leaves me a little cold. Read more
