Good Day Noir Family,
our “E.A.Poets Approved/Bands We Like” section is dedicated to Will Wood. I discovered this Artist while shuffling songs on Spotify and I like the uniqueness of his music.
As soon as I pressed the play button I immediately realized that I was in front of a great singer-songwriter.
A compositional style that takes inspiration from the past but manages to be modern at the same time. Some harmonic nuances and the vocal melody in some moments reminded me of the Beatles.
Surely Will Wood has a long creative compositional experience behind him as the chord progression is never predictable and banal and the attention to every little detail is maniacal.
An artist who offers refined lyrics and intricate and exquisite musical intuitions.
Will Wood has a clear artistic vision and his style is solid, his songs are able to entertain the listener from the first to the last second.
A fantastic find that I recommend to everyone.

Will Wood is an American singer-songwriter, known for his ever-changing style and difficult-to-decipher public persona. Wood has released numerous singles and three studio albums: Everything Is A Lot, in 2015; Self-Ish (stylized as SELF-iSH), in 2016, The Normal Album in 2020, and the forthcoming In Case I Make It to be released in the summer of 2022.
Little is known about the real Will Wood, and his public image has often been the subject of strange myths, misinformation, and misconceptions. Wood has a disdain both personal and ideological for all platforms of social media and its culture, and does not shy away from making these views public. Unlike many artists in this era, Wood makes the fact that he doesn’t operate any social media accounts clear, openly resisting the way artists are expected to self-promote. Despite his borderline reclusive and private nature, Wood has consistently been open about his past struggles with addiction and mental illness, having entered recovery early in his career and later being diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. Wood donates portions of his income to various mental health charities, including the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation, saying, “I’ve gotten a lot better. I want to try and do something to help others get there.”
