Caught in a complex tangle between lovesick poet and misanthropic nomad, Crywolf’s vast cinematic landscapes and sehnsucht-filled melodies often pull at a listeners’ sanity as much as their heartstrings.
The primary project of Justin Taylor Phillips, a producer, vocalist, and multi instrumentalist from Los Angeles, CA, Crywolf was one of the first pioneers of the “Post-EDM” movement. His concept albums have garnered their own unique following, with a loyalty rarely seen in the world of electronic music, solidifying his spot as one of the electronic world’s most enduring and compelling artistic talents.
His newest release “exuvium” a followup to “widow” is a genre-bending journey through an apocalyptic particle accelerator, splitting the line between euphoric crescendos and melancholic despair to its thinnest, almost indistinguishable form. An experience so unlike any auditory other - the album seems completely untethered to the preconceived notions that have bound works before it.
