Seth Woods, The Whiskey Priest, composes a haunting effort in his album Wave & Cloud, which debuted August 23rd. For the most part, Wave & Cloud is an airy, ghostly sound, with songs that simply have a single line repeated throughout on top of lonely instrumentals. Wave & Cloud at times showcases the ‘priest’ part of Whiskey Priest, as it has hints of inspiration from a hymnal in its repetitions and sometimes simplistic song structure, and, in rare times, the upbeat life of gospel music. Wave & Cloud is folk music that will give you the blues, but not without a hint of light and hope in it overall. Wave & Cloud, if anything, will be the best sermon you’ve heard all week.
