Wandl – It's All Good Tho

22-year-old Vienna-resident Wandl developed into one of the most progressive and interesting european producers in recent years. His longplay-debut "It's All Good Tho" brings his take on melodic vocals and experimental, bass driven instrumentals to the fore. His EPs "Milk", "Soon" and his Affine-debut "Far Way Home" stretch out his personal vision of brainfeeder-nerdism and state of the art bedroom-soul. On "It's All Good Tho" he plays almost all the instruments, channels his vocals through machines, alienates and exposes them - and he's not shy of monumental hooks.

After recording "Geld Leben" with Crack Ignaz - an album that Juice Magazine, All Good and Intro called one of the best Deutschrap-records of the decade - Wandl isolated himself and retreated to his den. Being alone in his Wandl-crib or at the studio of his labelmate, mentor, and guest on the album, Dorian Concept, he wrote songs on guitar, rhodes, violin and synth and sang cranky-beautiful sketches into his phone, that turn into post-R'n'B-gems. During the production the St.-Pölten-born multi instrumentalist temporarily moved to Hamburg to write the orchestration for the play "Der gestohlene Gott". By day he worked on the theater staging, at night he recorded vocals at the grand piano in the massive and inspiring lobby. Throughout the three performances during which he partly improvised some of the sound design, Wandl further developed his intuition.
