They have toured with Daughter, Matthew E White, San Fermin, London Grammar, Diane Birch and more. Their singles Garden is now at 4.5 million streams and Final is over 2.5 million streams across platforms.
A major revelation.
- NPR Music
Softly devastating.
- Stereogum
It manages to be both soothing and disquieting. At points it sounds like it’s running backwards. Sometimes like a memory tantalizingly out of reach.
– Noisey
[A] full-length rumination of quiet devastation.
– CBC
Slow, Spartan songs with finger-picked guitar, heart-beat drums and ghostly narratives... Lovely.
- MOJO
A twilight escape from the unrelenting rush of everyday living.
– Popmatters
Big and bright, Wilsen’s debut battles against the hardest of nights that turn into mornings, and comes out the other side feeling truly defiant.
– DIY
I Go Missing In My Sleep pays out higher dividends with repeated and closer listens… Wilsen has thrust their own marker in the sand with this debut and given themselves a wealth of directions in which to pivot toward for the future.
