WOLFGANG TILLMANS ANNOUNCES SECOND ALBUM AND SHARES NEW TRACK ‘REGRATITUDE
Wolfgang Tillmans‘ latest album, “Build from Here,” is a sonic journey through desolation and possibility, joy and heartbreak. The cover art, featuring a mysterious figure in a concrete clearing, sets the tone for an album that explores ruin and rebuilding in the face of uncertain futures. Tillmans‘ voice, whether growling and confrontational or tender and bare, remains the album’s precious thread, showcasing vulnerability as a source of strength. From propulsive club bangers to contemplative ballads, the songs traverse a spectrum of emotions, with Tillmans‘ voice leading the way. The album’s insistence on multiplicities—of sound, presentation, and meaning—defies the simplicity of atavistic fascisms, offering a rich and dynamic experience in a world that means so much more. “Build from Here” is a musical exploration driven by a desire to expose and discover, a clarion call for resistance in a moment when so many clocks are being turned back.
