Back in November, Peter Wagner released “Fisher King”, his debut album as Furrows. Tip-toeing the line between chamber pop and psychedelic folk rock, the release was a synthesthetic’s dream, composed of colourful, textured melodies that seemed to float in the air before you, shimmering and morphing with grace in a manner akin to the northern lights. “An attempt to work through the feelings of alienation that come from pursuing an artistic life in a society that only finds value in profit,” the Wagner embedded in the music the quiet frustrations of the transient lifestyle he found himself in for most of his life, which he later discovered only music can reconcile. Within “Fisher King’s” vast, atmospheric expanse lies something beautifully tangible and material, a far-away chance, however hazy and fragile, to be rooted, stable, safe after so many years without a sense of place.
