Mossy Oak Shadow

The sheer force of Andrzejewski’s unwavering vision is more than enough to steady listeners and win them over with the same thing he’s always provided: phenomenal songwriting. Whether it’s with the lush majesty of songs like “Magic Moment,” or the stirring spareness of Ethel Cain duet “Meet Me Anywhere,” Mossy Oak Shadow highlights Andrzejewski’s ability to blend deeply human longing with otherworldly splendor–and the moody gothic country atmosphere only amplifies this enticing dichotomy. “Settler’s Bend” and “I Get It” are powered by shuffling drums, timeless chord changes, and Andrzejewski’s warm croon, but they’re cast with WPSE’s intangible spell that turns the mundane into the magical. The album comes to a close with “I Was A Runner Once,” a haunting and nostalgic track that brings a dark romance to long lost moments. It’s beautiful and discomfiting all at once, somehow sounding at once uncharted territory for Wicca Phase Springs Eternal and totally of a piece with McIlwee’s larger songwriting project. It’s the sound of achieving the artistic freedom that he found so inspiring in the work of his formative songwriting heroes. “That song kind of wrote itself,” he says, “It ends the album on an ominous note but it means I can do anything I want next.”
