If there was one album that came out of nowhere and surprised the hell out of me, if was the self-titled Wilderness album that was released last year.  I was really happy to get an e-mail from JagJaguar  letting me know that Wilderness has a new album on the way  for 2006.  The street date for this  is  April 11th, but I’ve got  an MP3 for your review.  There is a ton of good information  about this album right here.

And with Vessel States, this latest record of theirs, Wilderness are definitely continuing their journey up and through the challenged landscape. In their own words: {–a new set of music–} The psychic parameters have fallen off in an attempt at immediacy… a snow storm in the sure footed as a direct result of categorization… yearning to communicate has yielded psychic flares bounced from the bedframes, responding is silence… this is our collective strength to cover our heads with the music… play the fool, try to heal, be wary of the clever… vessel states…
