wAHb shares Early Virgins an EP that was made with intelligence, love, beauty and passion.
wAHb – Early Virgins EP
wAHb is a post-Americana project out of Wyoming. Caleb Bristol began this project back in 2019, exploring music in a way that incorporates everyday life.
The opening guitar riff is beautiful, melodic and winding; it is reminiscent of some of the best 2000s folk-pop. ‘King of Hearts’ is littered with majestic songwriting and raw vocal beauty. The chorus is thoughtful in both presence and feel, allowing for a true journey of the mind. The song flows beautifully, and the end is a cry for help as it leaves all listeners wanting more.
Luckily, ‘Shorties for the Camel’ maintains the mystic atmosphere and brings us deeper into our own web of pensiveness. More poetic lyrics are presented in the form of shapeless vocals. It is stark throughout that this EP has been made with purpose and for the love of the craft. The pulsing guitar builds in the second chorus, and the vocals maintain raspy nuances but become increasingly desperate. The gloomy, powerful sounds encapsulate the listener.
A western apocalyptic feel grips hold of us on ‘Dawn’. The simple, sliding guitar is built upon with sounds that emit the essence of peace and adventure. The ending is beyond peaceful and truly transcendent.
The final track is my personal favourite on the EP for many reasons. The build-up of vocal silence and instrumental mastery sets up the song perfectly. The lyrics seem to meld with the instrumental backing perfectly as if there was no other way this song could be written. The ending of the track is real and edgy in the true meaning of the word. It leaves us wondering and wanting more.
This EP was made with divine purpose, and I take my hat off to its creator. There should always be a place for art as pure as this in the world.
“Early Virgins is a four-song masterpiece that anyone with a spare sixteen minutes should feel obligated to listen to, a real work of art.”
