Post Description

Lake Forest is the introspective and sometimes melancholic folk music of Will Whitwham, singer and songwriter of the Wilderness of Manitoba. Last winter, in between tours with the band, Whitwham decided to write and record a song per day and see how long it took to get something he felt could be a snapshot of a period in time. The winter was a catalyst as every season can be. "I'm always moved the most by music that is really emotive above all else because that's the only way I find it can really stay with and sometimes haunt you."
 
After that, Whitwham wanted to send it out to a few close friends to hear their thoughts. Then, once revisiting it all, he wanted to put it out because he felt that the songs formed a real cohesiveness through this challenge; as though they could only be released if they were all together. It definitely captures the mood he was in and the sounds he really wanted to be creating at the time. He always prefers listening to a whole album by someone because then you get a wider perspective or series of moments rather than just one of them.
