Fans of Acoustic Rock and Alt-folk, Wilhelm’s Latest Work Is Set to Make Waves in 2025

Wilhelm, the solo project of Murnau and The House Flies guitarist and vocalist, has once again captured the essence of raw, emotive music with his latest album, “Wake Me in the Sunrise.” Scheduled for release on January 7, 2025, this highly anticipated lo-fi folk and soft-rock album is already creating a buzz among music lovers and critics alike. Originating from Moline, United States, Wilhelm brings a unique perspective to the Acoustic Rock and Alt-folk genres. Press play on the audio player below to immerse yourself in this compelling sound, and continue reading for more insights into Wilhelm’s creative genius.

“Wake Me in the Sunrise” follows the success of Wilhelm’s 2023 single “The Creek,” maintaining the artist’s signature blend of introspective vocals and haunting guitars. The new album, written and recorded over the past year and a half, comprises nine tracks of deeply personal songwriting.

From the album’s opener, “Midnight Caller on the Moon,” listeners are placed in the passenger seat, experiencing Wilhelm’s fragile and melodic vocal stylings firsthand. The subtle addition of a reed organ enriches the atmosphere, setting the tone for the rest of the album. By the time the closing track, “Hold Your Head Now, Baby,” delivers its final harmonics, audiences are left feeling as though they have traversed a landscape of memories, emotions, and whispered secrets.

According to PopHits.Co, “Wilhelm’s ability to evoke such a visceral response through minimalist production and heartfelt lyrics is a testament to his prowess as a singer-songwriter.”

Wilhelm’s approach in “Wake Me in the Sunrise” takes a stark departure from the elaborate compositions of his previous albums, “Lace” (2019) and “Sugarcane” (2020). Instead, he opts for a stripped-down, acoustic-driven sound, reminiscent of artists like Iron & Wine and Sufjan Stevens. This back-to-basics approach not only highlights his talent but also invites listeners to connect on a more personal level with his music. For those who appreciate the raw and unfiltered emotions often found in Emo Rock and Indie Folk, this album is a must-listen.

As a seasoned music curator team, we recognise the skill required to produce a collection that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. Wilhelm’s dedication to his craft ensures that “Wake Me in the Sunrise” will leave a lasting impression. “Wilhelm is a master at blending gothic tones with trad folk influences, creating a sound that is as haunting as it is beautiful,” we affirm.
