Since wrapping on Stranger Things<\/em> back in 2024, making music has been Wolfhard\u2019s focus. Last year, he released his debut album, Happy Birthday,<\/em> and his follow-up record expands his sonic and thematic explorations as a solo artist\u2014his current sound existing somewhere in between the genres of indie-rock, pop, folk, and even country. \u201cTo me, this album was a bit of a playground, in the sense that I wanted to make what I wanted to make,\u201d says Wolfhard. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely an album to hang out to.\u201d<\/p>\n If his music has a garage-band feel to it (it does!), that\u2019s because it\u2019s synonymous with his upbringing: Wolfhard has been playing instruments since he was young, having dabbled in bands Calpurnia and The Aubreys. But with his sophomore album, he says he has solidified his voice as an artist more than ever before. (In fact, he wrote most of Fire From The Hip<\/em> before his first album even came out.) The new tracks reflect his personal experiences over the past year or so, many of them touching on various coming-of-age learnings that came at him fast. \u201cA lot of it was saying goodbye to different parts of my life,\u201d says Wolfhard. \u201cIt\u2019s a time capsule of where I was.\u201d<\/p>\n In his raw, guitar-driven song \u201cTunnels,\u201d Wolfhard sings a poetic farewell to Atlanta, the city he lived in while making much of the Stranger Things<\/em> series, and a city that shaped him. \u201cThat song is about walking aimlessly through Atlanta, and being depressed about that chapter coming to an end,\u201d says Wolfhard. His slightly-sweeter and upbeat song \u201cNice to Meet You Again,\u201d is about recently relocating back to Canada. \u201cIt\u2019s about me moving back home, and reintroducing myself to people that I’ve known my whole life,\u201d says Wolfhard.<\/p>\n Photo: Lauren Cassot<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n Wolfhard\u2019s sound has also unfurled anew. Much of the record was produced with the live band that he toured with during his first tour, and it features an eclectic mix of everything from heavy guitars to fiddles (as heard on \u201cLights Go Down\u201d) and synths. \u201cI wanted to blend some of that lo-fi-ness of the first record, and make it a little more high-quality,\u201d says Wolfhard. \u201cBut if you play them back to back, they\u2019re sister albums.\u201d<\/p>\n As we roam through the record shop, it\u2019s clear that Wolfhard knows his music references and history. We stop by the country section, where Wolfhard fans out over a few of his biggest influences. \u201cI\u2019ve been in a big outlaw country phase,\u201d says Wolfhard. \u201cThere were these amazing anti-establishment country artists, like Johnny Paycheck. His big hit was \u2018Take This Job and Shove It\u2019\u2014it kind of became an American anthem.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.vogue.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since wrapping on Stranger Things back in 2024, making music has been Wolfhard\u2019s focus.
