about

It wasn’t all that long ago - before our post-privacy era of relentless distraction - that solitude was viewed and experienced not as a curse to be avoided but as an essential component of a healthy life. "Nightsalone: Redwoods, Vol. 1," the first volume of Wffls’ new jazz-influenced "Redwoods" beat tape series, is a meditation on the beauty and necessity of solitude in an age where it is all too often hard to come by.

Inspired by the timeless sounds of the world’s great jazz musicians, "Nightsalone" is a testament to the benefits of time to one’s self, or as the jazz gods would call it, “woodshedding.” In the dark of the night while the rest of the world sleeps, Wffls can be found, like many artists, in a state of nocturnal creative ecstasy. Free from the din of modern society's incessant babbling and in liberated pursuit of long-forgotten musical gems waiting to be rediscovered, Wffls conjures the spirits of musicians past and present and distills their wisdom down to its raw musical elements, re-contextualized and reimagined.

True to the form of hip-hop’s original genreless-ness, Wffls draws from sources as wide-ranging as Brazilian bossa nova, German krautrock, and ethnomusicological field recordings to weave a unique tapestry of musical impressions that speak to the feeling of universal unity one receives only in the company of one's own soul. In this way, "Nightsalone: Redwoods, Vol. 1" will inspire even the most extroverted socialites to ditch their phones and escape to the nearest nowhere, where they might encounter that most long lost of companions - their true selves.
