Wymond Miles — Call By Night (July 8, 2016)
••••• Zkoumá dnešní aktuální společenská témata. Wymond Miles vyrůstal v menších dělnických městech amerického západu. V albu “Call By Night”, nejnovějším širokoúhlém opusu, Miles mistrovsky evokuje, že ‘ztratil krajinu’, to vše při potýkání se s problémy otcovství, obavách o ochranu osobních údajů, PTSD (posttraumatická stresová porucha), zprávách o policejní brutalitě a rozptýlení pocitu romantiky z dětství. Album přidává kriticky novou kapitolu do “Fresh & Onlys” příběhu kytaristy jako umělce, a znovu ho potvrzuje jako hlavní hlas v současném singer~songwriterství. Zajímavé v této souvislosti je, že posttraumatickou stresovou poruchou se v jistém smyslu zabýval již v minulém století Sigmund Freud, když pátral po okolnostech, které způsobily postižení zhruba 20 % rakousko–uherských vojáků během první světové války. Tato skupina vojáků měla psychické i fyzické problémy, přičemž nikdo z nich nebyl vážně zraněn. Freud odmítl tehdejší tvrzení, že by mohlo jít o důsledek drobných krvácení do centrální nervové soustavy a že se může jednat také o reaktivaci dětské neurózy. Za příčinu postižení vojáků považoval reakci na bezprostřední ohrožení života ve válce. ≡ Wymond Miles was raised in the working–class small towns of the American West. On Call by Night, the singer’s latest widescreen opus, Miles masterfully evokes that lost landscape, all while grappling with issues of fatherhood, privacy, PTSD, police brutality, and dissipated romance. The album adds a critical new chapter to the Fresh & Onlys guitarist’s story as an artist, and reasserts him as a major voice in contemporary songwriting.

• On last summer’s Early Years Anthology, San Francisco’s “The Fresh & Onlys” revisited their early material, songs that date back nearly a decade. This year, rather than look to the past, the band’s guitarist Wymond Miles is using his forthcoming solo album to examine today’s current social issues.
• Call by Night, the follow–up to 2013’s Cut Yourself Free, evokes the often forgotten landscapes of the American West, including the working–class small towns where he grew up, “all while grappling with issues of fatherhood, privacy, PTSD, violence, and dissipated romance,” according to a press release. As Miles describes, it’s a “more definitive commitment to seek, listen, and give voice to an enduring muse.”
• Its nine tracks, all of which were first written on piano, were recorded by Phil Manley (The Fucking Champs, Trans Am) using vintage gear. Sessions took place at San Francisco’s El Studio as well as Miles’ own home studio, the Garden Chamber.
