Saskatchewan-born singer-songwriter Andy Shauf has announced he will be releasing a new album titled Wilds on Sept. 24. The recordings come from the same sessions that produced his 2020 release The Neon Skyline.

Shauf recorded the arrangements on his own in his Toronto studio and is the sole musician on the record. The nine-track album follows a narrative focusing on a character named Judy, who has been a reoccurring persona in Shauf’s work.

In conjunction with the announcement of the album release date, Shauf released a lyric video for a single off the album titled “Jaywalker.”

Though Wilds will be released digitally on Sept. 24 it is not due to release on physical copies until Nov. 19.

Shauf is currently on an extensive tour through May of 2022, hitting cities from Boise, Idaho, to Woodstock, N.Y., to Dublin, Ireland.
