‘Eat the Worm’ is a mesmerizing sonic journey that transcends genres and captivates listeners with its enchanting melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. Utilising his own Fivestar Studios for the sessions, working to his own speed, Jonathan Wilson was able to draw out increased nuance from the songs, allowing them to grow in the process.

“There are a lot of details to the songs. I felt like this album was also time for me to expand my sound, so there are way more strings and horns than I’ve ever done before,” he says. “I wanted to apply some of the sonic palette of some of the productions I’ve worked on to my own stuff. There’s a lot of experimentation, and almost none of the songs started as me with a guitar. I really wanted something that sounded fresh and new.”
