Fruition’s Wild as the Night conveys the emotions of our darkest, and sometimes weakest, moments.
The eclectic, after-hours vibe of Wild as the Night comes naturally to the Portland, Oregon-based band, composed of Jay Cobb Anderson (electric guitar, vocals), Kellen Asebroek (piano, acoustic guitar vocals), Jeff Leonard (bass), Mimi Naja (mandolin, electric guitar, vocals) and Tyler Thompson (drums).
“For me I've just always hoped that people relate to the music, whether it's a certain chord movement that lifts their spirit or comforts their sorrow, or a lyric that speaks to them like it was written for them,” Asebroek says. “This music comes from places of vulnerability and I hope that people can take their guard down a little while resonating with it.”
Naja provides perhaps the album’s most beautiful moment in the title track, evoking the midnight grief from letting a relationship go. “Don’t Give Up on Me” carries that lonesomeness a step further, despite its seductive groove. Yet the project also illustrates the happier moments that come after dusk, expressed in imagery as simple as the storm in “Raining in the City,” or as enchanting as the campfire of “Manzanita Moonlight.”
Recorded at Silo Sound Studio in Denver, Wild as the Night captures the band’s mindset in the midst of relentless touring. “We were exhausted, but musically firing on all cylinders,” says Thompson, who shares production credit with the band on the new project. “It’s extremely diverse Americana, with a focus on great songwriting and harmonies. We weren’t going for a particular sound, just something that’s honest to our live sound along with a few tricks we learned from our last producer, Tucker Martine.”
Watching it All Fall Apart, the 2018 studio album produced by Martine, prompted Relix to proclaim it an “experiment in catharsis.” With a renewed focus on harnessing the energy of the live experience, Wild as the Night allows listeners to get a glimpse of these longtime friends doing what they do best on stage, whether they’re opening for the Wood Brothers, Greensky Bluegrass, and Jack Johnson, or playing at festivals like Telluride Bluegrass, Bonnaroo, and DelFest.
