WULLAE WRIGHT should not be taken likely – I realised that the second I heard his soothing effort All The Time which was featured on NEW LEASE MUSIC last month. All The Time makes up one of his latest 13-track-album, The Orange Line.

Now I have the pleasure of reviewing the entire albumand I have to say it took me by surprise as I anticipated that classic mellow rock throughout the self-recorded production.  In fact, The Orange Line features the wonderfully bitter/sweet creations, demonstrated in UFO, Roadtrippin’ and You Never Said Anything. These tracks are completed by this Scottish rocker’s cry-for-help vocals.

The album just displays that WULLAE WRIGHT is a worthwhile producer:  Stand Alone (ft Stuart Carroll), Plasticland, Beware: Beckon Angels and A Story of a Wall features that delightfully-awkward blend of different instruments that sticks in the mind hours (or even longer) after listening. Each of these incomparable singles are very different from each other, and this artist’s vocals perfectly adapt to these productions.

Overall, The Orange Line pushes the boundaries of indie rock to the absolute limit, making it a very intriguing listening. If you want to experience a fresh spin on indie rock, The Orange Line to the best place to start – welcome to the world of WULLAE WRIGHT
