Due this September 9, Shudder to Think lead vocalist Craig Wedren drops his new collection of sounds aptly titled Sabbath Sessions Summer 2022. The effort comes as a celebration to the final full moon of the summer season.
In a press statement released by his label GrandStand, the alternative rock artist reflected on the album’s theme by quoting, “The Sabbath Sessions series is intended to help facilitate connection to self and imagination, born out of the introspection of his longtime mindfulness and wellness practices and uniting many different strands of his varied musical aptitudes. These musical meditations represent his first explorations of ambient choral music, where Wedren’s technique of sampling and looping his famously elastic voice results in a unique kind of sound bath.”
Now with a rockin’ new album, Wedren has also put promotion in high gear per the album’s leading number “You on the Couch”, which serves as one of two pieces exhibiting “improvised vocal-looping”, as showcased on the array of the album.
Last year, mxdwn.com reported that Wedren was underway with a then-new single “You Are Not Your Feelings”, which narrated his highs and lows as a youngster growing up in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. The song was released to generally favorable reviews.
