Release Notes:
Paul Martin Wold, aka Wishful Thinking, was born on the island of
Kauai, Hawaii in 1988 but spent most of his childhood in Olympia,
Washington. Growing up in this town at this time he had an
unprecedented childhood experience: being amidst one of the most
significant indie rock scenes there ever was. His father, Steve Wold
(better known these days as Seasick Steve), ran Moon Studios there, and
Paul Martin was exposed to music at its purest and rawest from an early
age, as bands such as Modest Mouse, 764 Hero, Fitz of Depression, and
Murder City Devils passed through.
In 2001, at the age of 12, Wold moved with his family to Norway, where
his mother is originally from. Dabbling in ?song-writing? since the age
of 6, and experimenting with ?band-mates? in his early teens, Wishful
Thinking was born when Paul Martin Wold was 16. This was when he
realised his own brand of introspective melancholia called for no more
than his voice and a guitar. Drawing inspiration from the likes of
Bright Eyes, Elliott Smith and eventually Nick Drake and Neutral Milk
Hotel, Wold played small gigs in the town he was living in, eventually
moving to Oslo when boredom set in. In 2007 - ennui creeping up on him
again - he was lured to London, joining his fathers touring band and
continuing to explore his own music.
The result, debut album 'A Waste of Time Well Spent', is reverie at its
most alluring. A collection of beautiful songs, intense in their
intimacy, skewed by an outright rejection of mainstream formulas and
conventions, yet at the same time, astoundingly relaxed.
Released on his own imprint, We Make Mistakes on November 2nd, Wishful
Thinking will showcase a selection from the album whilst touring the UK
with Seasick Steve.
