Swooning guitars, found sounds, synthesizer trills, forward percussion and dream vocals; New Universe [KLP204] is the second full-length album by Desolation Wilderness. After touring the country extensively, this album is the labor of a restless engine; postcards from being constantly on the move. New Universe alternates between lonely sounds and the euphoria of freedom and distance - like an empty, foggy beach in the early morning. These songs have a particular movement, whether it’s the sun-drenched strut of 'Boardwalk Theme' or a barefoot sandy run on 'Venice Beach.' There are themes of escape and renewal, in leaving behind youth. The world is a vast and beautiful place, but also dangerous - full of doomed, overpowering love ('You Hold a Power Over Me') and night-walking loners ('San Francisco 2AM'). Desolation Wilderness meets the listener on the edge of the ocean, where the horizon meets the water in a perfect line. Without searching, this New Universe finds you ('No Tomorrow'). New Universe was recorded at the Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia, Washington after returning home. Desolation Wilderness will tour the United States and the UK in the fall of 2009. With the windows down. '[Listening to] Desolation Wilderness is like relaxing in a beach house with some wind chimes, a guitar and a million different effects pedals ... every song like its own mini beach vacation.' - The Fader Tracklist 1.
