The UK Americana band’s debut set arrived just after their victory at the 2018 UK Americana Awards.

Published on

The release of Wild Silence   by the Wandering Hearts on February 9, 2018 marked the widely anticipated album debut of a group who swiftly joined the vanguard of the UK Americana scene. The set arrived just over a week after they won the 2018 Bob Harris Emerging Artist Award, named for the revered British broadcaster, at the UK Americana Awards on February 1, 2018.

Further good news arrived on February 16 when the Official Charts Company’s new country album chart, based on UK sales, showed Wild Silence  debuting at No.1, displacing Chris Stapleton ’s From A Room, Vol. 2,  no less.

Listen to the Wild Silence  right now .

‘Last Of The Breed’: Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Ray Price’s Classic

Toby keith, james burton, and john anderson to join country music hall of fame.

The English group combine incisive songwriting nous with roots influences, pop elements and harmonies to die for. It’s the sort of symbiotic intertwining that usually only happens in sibling groups, or at least only after much honing and refining. These friends discovered the chemistry at their first rehearsal.

That came about after Tim Prottey-Jones (who has since left the line-up)  and Tara Wilcox, who’d met at a gig, were introduced by mutual friends to Chess Whiffen and A.J. Dean. They gathered to dip their toe in the idea of collaboration. “It was the coolest, weirdest day,” Wilcox told this writer, “because we started singing and it was almost immediately like we were in each other’s heads.”

Added Whiffen: “I remember leaving Tim’s house after the first rehearsal and calling my dad and just thinking, ‘Whatever just happened, we have to do that again.’ It was a moment of not being really sure of what we’d just found.”

The spirit of that moment was enhanced as they began to write and perform together. After a second rehearsal, the group uploaded two of their earliest compositions to Soundcloud and attracted the attention of Steve Milbourne, who became their manager. After their initial gigs, they went to the offices of Decca Records to perform, and company president Rebecca Allen knew there and then that she wanted to sign them.

The group’s vocal interaction is founded on the principle that the song will always choose the vocal treatment. “We’ve never had egos individually, and we realised early on that no one was in it for themselves,” said Wilcox. “I think we’re a very fair band, so there’d be a time when Chess would have a lead on something and she’d go ‘Tara, I think you should take this one,’ and I’d sing it and go ‘This doesn’t really work on me.’”

“There’s always three parts you can easily put over something,” noted Prottey-Jones. “The fourth one makes it a bit confusing, because there’s almost no notes left. You don’t want to sound choral. There’s no point overthinking it.”

Wild Silence arrived on the heels of 2017’s “Wish I Could” single and Burning Bridges EP , and their extensive live work which continued with another UK tour just after the album launch, concluding at London’s Bush Hall. Meanwhile, the Wandering Hearts’ reputation was already reaching across the Atlantic. When the four-piece opened for US country-Americana figurehead Marty Stuart in autumn 2017, he was so impressed that he invited them to perform at his Nashville shows the following June.

Concluded Dean: “That’s how lucky we’ve been, to get something going and have this team behind us here, and to have someone like Marty make that invitation at the stage we’re at…to get over there and play the shows he’s lined up, it’s amazing.”

Review: The Wandering Hearts, Wild Silence (Deluxe Version)

Last year The Wandering Hearts released their debut album, Wild Silence, to critical acclaim, with Sunday Times Culture writing of the foursome, “Harmonies that hark back to Fleetwood Mac.” To start off what will doubtless prove to be a hectic year for the band, they are releasing a deluxe version of the album on 25th January. Imogen reviews the album ahead of its release…

2018 was a fruitful year for The Wandering Hearts , who recently announced that they will play the C2C Spotlight stage performance on Sunday 10th March, along with the release of the deluxe version of Wild Silence , out on 25th January 2018 and a nomination for ‘Artist of the Year’ at the UK Americana Awards on 31st January. Their UK headline tour included a sell-out show at Islington Assembly Hall that was a hot contender for one of the best shows of 2018, setting the levels of excitement to fever pitch for the release of this deluxe edition of Wild Silence .

This deluxe album includes three brand new tracks – ‘Til The Day I Die,’ ‘Run’ and ‘Heart Stops Beating’ – along with acoustic versions of the original album tracks ‘Wild Silence and ‘Fire and Water,’ plus live versions of ‘Burning Bridges’ and ‘The Wonder of You’ from the band’s show in Memphis earlier this year. It is a surprisingly fresh original record in its own right, with the new tracks proving the band’s ability to constantly produce novel and exciting material – yet merging seamlessly with the original record. What is particularly impressive, though, is their ability here to totally reinvent their own previously released singles.

Wild Silence was one of the best records of last year , a demonstration in the true potential of UK country and Americana to provide a breath of fresh air to the genre rather than filling the mould of their American counterparts. The album retained all the elements of the genre, harking back to the 1970s era of country music, whilst managing to stay firmly rooted both in the UK and modern world.

When ‘Til The Day I Die’ was released in November, it spelled a new era for the band, showing they were more than just a 12-hit wonder… The track, deservedly, featured on the BBC Radio 2 playlist. It’s a catchy single, without falling into easy trappings of over-production, which so many commercially successful songs are so apt to do. Indeed, the band’s authenticity is the thread tying the whole deluxe album together. Here, bass keyboard is carefully balanced with their light and fresh harmonies, in a poignant track that exhibits just how talented the band is, both individually and as a group.

Their single ‘Run’ was performed in their Islington Assembly Hall set and is sure to be a fast-favourite among fans. It is one of those songs that merits multiple plays to appreciate its luxurious depth and complexity. The lyrics are gloriously relatable and the pause about three-quarters of the way, is a beautiful moment live for the band to provide a moment for the audience.

Just when you thought their harmonies couldn’t get tighter or more impressive, they go and produce a track like ‘Heart Stops Beating’ – their final original release on the deluxe record – splitting at one moment with the girls singing the main part, allowing the boys’ harmonies to ebb and flow over the top, providing an organically beautiful current of vocal harmonies.

Next up on the deluxe version of the album are the two acoustic reimaginings of tracks from the original version. First ‘Wild Silence’ itself gets its turn in the spotlight in a drastically stripped back cut, making it nearly unrecognisable from the original. This reinvention of the song would be impressive for another artist doing a cover of the single, but for an artist to reinvent their own material in this way is staggering. Accompanied just by a piano, the track is pure melodic beauty, and provides another facet to the multi-talented diamond that is The Wandering Hearts. Following hot on its’ heels is AJ’s near-acapella introduction to ‘Fire and Water’ that makes you sit up yet again and pay attention. While not quite as dramatic an overhaul as was given to ‘Wild Silence,’ still this acoustic reimagining of the track provides a fresh, almost melancholic feel to their original version, particularly for the last minute of the track when the guitar picks up and the AJ’s yodel-like vocals soar.

Two live tracks round out the deluxe record, their own ‘Burning Bridges’ and a cover of Elvis’ The Wonder of You . You’d almost be forgiven for thinking this last was their own material, fitting seamlessly in the album, almost… we’re not quite letting you get away with forgetting that’s an Elvis song. Nevertheless, as in their live performance, this recording is still magical, full of nostalgia and all the poignancy of the 1950s in a totally modern, original take.

Somehow the band have managed to release a deluxe edition of an album that is more exciting than most full-length stand-alone albums. An exhibition in stellar musicianship – both in their harmonies, thoughtful choice of album ordering, reinvention of their own material and original tracks – the album proves just how original the band are, leading their own path in the UK country and Americana scene and why they are so deserving of their recent successes.

About The Wandering Hearts

The Wandering Hearts recently returned from Americanafest in Nashville, where they led the UK charge of talent, playing multiple shows at this year’s celebration of the best of Americana and roots music. Over summer, the band performed at a string of UK festivals, including BST Hyde Park headlined by Eric Clapton, Latitude, Black Deer and Standon Calling.

In June, The Wandering Hearts became the first UK band ever to debut at Nashville’s iconic venues, the Ryman Auditorium and Grand Ole Opry, in the same week. They received a standing ovation for their performance at Marty Stuart’s infamous Late Night Jam at the Ryman where they shared the stage with Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives, Margo Price, John Prine and Chris Stapleton, as well as country-rock legends Chris Hillman and Roger McGuinn of The Byrds.

After a brilliant Opry debut, The Wandering Hearts were invited back to the iconic venue to perform for a second time a week later. In addition, the band added slots at CMAFest, The Basement and The Bluebird Café to their whirlwind tour, earning a rapturous welcome at each show. The band travelled to the US after receiving a personal invitation from legend Marty Stuart to join him on the Nashville and Memphis dates of his tour after they supported him in the UK.

The Wandering Hearts were discovered in the UK within half an hour of uploading their first demo online, and shortly after were signed to Decca Records. Over the past 18 months, The Wandering Hearts have built a loyal fan base with their signature sound that transcends genres: this is what makes them so special. With their seamless vocal harmonies, The Wandering Hearts are reminiscent of First Aid Kit and Of Monsters and Men, whilst channelling Fleetwood Mac’s pop sensibility and the storytelling of Chris Stapleton, all the while keeping their British roots at heart.

In February, the band released their debut album Wild Silence and picked up the coveted Bob Harris Emerging Artist award at the UK Americana Awards 2018, a prize hand-picked by the legendary broadcaster himself. Bob Harris stated, “ I was just blown away by them, by their harmonies, their energy, their enthusiasm and of course the fantastic quality of their music. I am truly thrilled for them and their new album is everything I hoped it would be .”

BRITISH FOLK TRIO THE WANDERING HEARTS RELEASE NEW SINGLE “STILL WATERS”

Article contributed by big feat pr | published on thursday, october 26, 2023.

Today, British breakout band The Wandering Hearts , who have gained fans across the US for their transatlantic blend of classic pop and folk, released their newest single, “Still Waters.” The music video was premiered by Bluegrass Situation, watch the music video HERE and read the feature HERE .

“Still Waters” is the third single from the band in 2023, who previously released “About America” and “Not Misunderstood.” The band is gearing up for more music next year.

In “Still Waters,” a soft vocal line ripples over a steady beat, while piano bookends the vulnerable refrain. Tranquil and emotionally turbulent all at once, “Still Waters” carries The Wandering Hearts’ signature folk sensibilities with silky instrumentations.

On “Still Waters,” Chess Whiffin (vocals, mandolin) of The Wandering Hearts stated, “ It has a serene feeling of water flowing. You’re living in a world where there’s so much destruction. COVID highlighted the isolation of social media and life at the time. You’re trying to stay afloat, keep your head above water, and breathe. It was born out of the feeling of attempting to navigate difficult times, have the conversations we need to have, and get rid of what we don’t need in our lives .”

The Wandering Hearts teased their next chapter with the release of double singles “Not Misunderstood” and “About America.” On the latter track, bright acoustic guitar and tambourine offset the heavy weight of an intense story: an ode to their adopted sonic home that is the United States, as well as a journey of conquering the metaphorical storms of changing seasons, narrating a timeless tale of loss.

For the latest singles, as well as what’s to come, The Wandering Hearts peeled back the previously subtle pop layer, sanded it down, and stripped the sound to its bare essentials—captivating lyrics, organic instrumentation, and, as always, starkly powerful harmonies. In doing so, they realized their vision at its purest and most powerful. They also found a like minded partner and the perfect home for this body of work in Chrysalis renowned for pioneering British folk rock stars in the 1970s and relaunched itself as a front line label in 2020 working with artists from Laura Marling to Liz Phair.

The band has carefully taken one step at a time to get here. Initially a four-piece, they found their footing and cemented their sound with the core of Tara, Chess, and A.J. on a series of fan favorite albums.  Thus far, they’ve notched back-to-back #1 debuts on the UK Americana Albums Chart with Wild Silence [2018] and The Wandering Hearts [2021]. The latter marked a big turning point for the band, finding an incredible chemistry in the studio. Plus, they have garnered two nominations for “UK Album of the Year” at the UK Americana Awards. Beyond amassing tens of millions of cumulative streams, they enraptured audiences on both sides of the pond with a spellbinding live show. Word spread quickly to the U.S, making its way to the one and only Marty Stuart who invited The Wandering Hearts to play with him at The Ryman, Grand Ole Opry and Graceland.

The Wandering Hearts recently wrapped their latest tour across continents, traveling through America, UK and Ireland, with highlights including various showcases at Americanafest 2023.

Today’s Song: The Wandering Hearts Are Alight with Passion on “Fire and Water”

Talented quartet The Wandering Hearts chronicle a blossoming relationship with their signature sound on “Fire and Water,” lifted off their debut album Wild Silence .

T he Wandering Hearts’ music doesn’t conform to any single genre. Instead, the quartet each draw from their own unique influences, crafting tracks that are original yet timeless. “Fire and Water,” lifted from their debut album Wild Silence (02/09/2018 via Decca Records ), is one such example.

Listen: “Fire and Water” – The Wandering Hearts

The track opens with commanding guitar strums, which provide the perfect introduction to vocalist AJ’s gleaming vocals. Although the track really comes into its own with the introduction of the remainder of the talented quartet’s vocals.

When you look at me with those big brown eyes We both know what I’ll do I’ve tried but it’s impossible Can’t keep myself away from you

Each member of the quartet is a remarkable vocalist in their own right but throughout this track the group’s seemingly effortless vocal harmonies create something truly exceptional. While the quartet’s vocals are nothing short of incredible, their agonizingly affecting lyrics are unforgettably brilliant too. It’s not often that such a vibrant track has such heart.

Since the release of their debut single “Wish I Could” back in May last year, The Wandering Hearts have gone from strength to strength. Sold out shows across the UK and their subsequent single releases (“Devil” and “Burning Bridges”) proved the quartet as a force to be reckoned with.

Comparisons to First Aid Kit and The Lumineers can be made but their band’s ability to intertwine seemingly paradoxical styles of music is unparalleled. Fire and Water is a catchy up-tempo track but still pays homage to classic Americana in a refined and contemporary way.

Something in the fire Makes the water Run a little wilder But we never learn So let’s jump right in now

The track delves into the start of a complex relationship through conveying an overwhelming sense euphoria coupled with an undertone of confusion and bewilderment. The emotional impact of their phenomenal harmonies is exemplified by the contrast with moments of relative quiet, where only a solo vocalist can be heard.

The Wandering Hearts’ sense of unity and mutual understanding really shines through both in their unmissable live show and on tracks like this. Their collective sense of affectionate passion is evident in any one of their masterful harmonies.

‘Fire and Water’ is an intoxicatingly brilliant track that perfectly complements some of the more heartfelt, intimate tracks on their debut album. After the success of their recent sold-out show at London’s iconic Bush Hall, the quartet return to the city with a date at Islington’s Assembly Hall this November. Before that, they’ve got a busy summer ahead with an array of appearances including at BBC’s Biggest Weekend in Coventry and at Nashville’s legendary Grand Ole Opry.

The Wandering Hearts

Leading lights in British-Folk-Americana

The Wandering Hearts achieved their second consecutive #1 on the UK official Americana Chart as they built on the breakthrough success of their 'Wild Silence' debut with 2021’s self-titled second album, recorded between Woodstock and Omaha with producers Simone Felice, David Baron and Mike Mogis.

Arriving to a second wave of critical acclaim and again championed by Bob Harris at BBC Radio 2 (who previously awarded them his Breakthrough Artist at the UK Americana Awards), the album cemented the trio's reputation as one of the leading lights in British Folk-Americana  - as underlined by their further nomination for Album Of The Year at the UK Americana Awards 2022, alongside Yola and The Staves.

The only British act to debut at both the iconic Ryman Theatre and The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville in the same week, The Wandering Hearts have shared stages and tours across the UK and US with artists such as the late greats Tom Petty, John Prine and Justin Townes Earle, and Margo Price, Lukas Nelson, Robert Plant and Eagles. 

Signed to Chrysalis Records for their third album, the band have had a busy 2023 with stand out performances at SXSW in Austin, Black Deer Festival, and a forthcoming Americanafest show in Nashville, as well as extensively supporting and performing on stage alongside Jack Savoretti on his summer tour.

The release of their EP ‘Hesperus’ in May, followed by their addition of ‘Voices’ to the much lauded Nick Drake anthology ‘The Endless Coloured Ways’ in July (alongside Bombay Bicycle Club, Feist, Aurora, Emile Sande, Self Esteem and more), all hint at a flavour of their forthcoming album (due 2024). The new material puts sharp focus on their world-renowned three-part harmonies to explore their Folk-Rock influences, blending flavours that bring to mind Simon & Garfunkel, Fleetwood Mac and contemporaries like Milk Carton Kids and First Aid Kit.

Support is from Pearl Charles, a singer-songwriter from Los Angeles whose sound is a melding of 1960s rock and 1970s cosmic country.
