with a whole lot of stories to tell. Will
Stratton has once again composed,
compiled and produced an album that is far
wiser than his years. Having released his
debut album What the Night Said at only 19,
Stratton’s follow-up, No Wonder, is the
result of three years worth of recording
sessions sandwiched between his studies at
Vermont’s Bennington College.
Like any other good craftsman, Stratton has
looked to his peers for inspiration and
guidance; British folk music, ‘70s power
pop, Tin Pan Alley songwriters and ‘90s
indie rock has all helped shape the sound
and sauce that is Will Stratton. Lyrically No
Wonder is laced with subtle cameos from
legendary literary figures such as Robin
Hood and Maid Marian, Salinger’s desolate
Franny Glass or the notorious betrayer,
Judas, but as a direct descendent of
Geoffrey Chaucer, it comes natural for
Stratton to first and foremost tell his own
tale, one of longing and reminiscence;
Stratton’s sophomore album is so much
more than an ode to tales and old records.
No Wonder is slated for release on
November 3rd and marks another
compelling chapter in the DIY handbook of
Will Stratton the songwriter, the lyricist, the
producer, the artist.
