Anthology: 2021 by Mark Wylie
ANTHOLOGY: 2021
Well here we are, another year past and another batch of songs to catalogue. These sonic photographs are the raw representation of my musical output. Historically these songs never make their way on an official release, so instead they land in these Anthology album series for anyone interested in sifting through the debris for gems.
The "A-side" consists of 7 songs from my acoustic collection - lighter tales written for solo guitar, usually composed while in the Muskoka's on holidays throughout the year.
The "B-side" is usually the polar opposite (can't have the light without the darkness, right?). These compositions primarily use the 'metal' medium to express whatever variety of emotional/philosophical complexities I am playing with on a week-to-week basis.
Album is available for download as 'name your price'.
Lots of love fam, happy new year, see you 2022 <3
