William Wild

Garrett Sale doesn’t want to paint the picture for you—he’s offering you his canvas. On Touchy, his latest release as William Wild, Sale traces the edges of a box and invites you to exist alongside him, inside. Sale follows his most unguarded impulses—letting the songs wander, swerve, and surprise—yet by the end, it’s hard to imagine them landing anywhere else. The space he creates is immediate—the outlines of pain and grief, triumph and joy are tangible against the homespun backdrops. Touchy was never meant to be some polished return or tabula rasa—it’s merely what Sale had in him. It’s his rawest, most defining recording to date.
