Our Take

Ah, Willis Earl Beal, the enigmatic artist known for his soulful vocals and DIY approach to music. His debut album, "Acousmatic Sorcery", is a mixed bag of lo-fi gems and experimental soundscapes that will have you scratching your head in wonderment.

From the opening track, "Nepenenoyka", Beal sets the tone with his haunting croon layered over a cacophony of distorted guitars and gritty production. It's like listening to a blues record through a tin can telephone - rough around the edges, but undeniably compelling.

Tracks like "Take Me Away" and "Evening's Kiss" showcase Beal's raw talent as a songwriter, with lyrics that cut deep and melodies that stay with you long after the song ends. However, his penchant for off-kilter production choices can sometimes veer into self-indulgence, leaving the listener feeling slightly perplexed.

But just when you think you have Beal figured out, he throws you a curveball with songs like "Sambo Joe From The Rainbow", a whimsical ditty that wouldn't feel out of place in a Saturday morning cartoon.

Overall, "Acousmatic Sorcery" is a refreshing departure from the polished sheen of mainstream music, offering a glimpse into the unfiltered mind of a true artist. So, dive in with an open mind and let Willis Earl Beal take you on a sonic journey unlike any other.
