"The best album of the year-as far as I'm concerned there's no competition, nothing else even comes close — is Jonathan Wilson's Fanfare, the follow-up to 2011's critically acclaimed Gentle Spirit. It's a brilliantly sculpted, painstakingly-crafted album by an artist operating at the height of his powers as a musician, songwriter, guitarist, pianist and producer — and the guy's just getting started." — Dangerous Minds, October 2013
The 2013 sophomore album from the singer/songwriter, a grandiose and highly ambitious production that builds upon the success of his Bella Union label debut. Hailed as updating the classic Laurel Canyon sound, in reality Jonathan Wilson is a far more complex, idiosyncratic entity. Sure, there are shades of that pastoral early '70s sound and even psychedelia, but the West Coast artist seems to continually play between influence and identity, tradition and possibility. Featuring contributions from Graham Nash, David Crosby, Jackson Browne, Josh Tillman (AKA Father John Misty), Wilco's Patrick Sansone, Dawes' Taylor Goldsmith and more, Fanfare certainly reaches for a lush sound.
