Dear listeners and readers of Soundville, today I want to tell you about an amazing musician, Wully, who has released his self-titled debut EP ‘WULLY’ consisting of three tracks. Chicago-based artist Wully is just beginning to release music and still has many unreleased tracks. With ‘WULLY,’ his debut EP, Wully shows his intention to conquer the core of dream and alt-pop music. ‘WULLY’ conveys a caution and expresses Wully’s love for the music he creates and wants to share with the world. I like that Wully’s music is permeated with a very cozy and aesthetic atmosphere that is immediately noticeable as soon as you start listening. And ‘WULLY’ is a very good start because the release reveals a deep and unique sound to the world, with cozy live touches and Wully’s live recording.

If you’re looking for music that can create a very cozy and cinematic atmosphere for you, help you disconnect from oppressive reality, or simply give you pleasant vibes, then ‘WULLY’ definitely needs to be on your playlist. I want to share with you the brightest moments from these tracks that caught me the most. The release opens with ‘Weight of Love,’ and in this sound you can feel warmth, coziness, and that very atmosphere that brings memories back, perhaps to childhood, and gives a feeling of peace and calm. The way the instruments flow into each other, forming a cozy dance of sound, that all creates a hypnotic effect and sparks great interest to find out what Wully has prepared next. Here I like that there is a light minimalism in the sound. A very bright and ringing bass line and drums form the foundation of the melody, and the relaxed and light vocals float among the melody and light synth chords, creating a very modern cozy indie atmosphere.

‘Weight of Love’ gives you no time to relax, pulling you right into its warm indie embrace from the very first second. When I listened to ‘Weight of Love’, it felt like there was more to it than just an indie-pop sound. The vocals carry something from the classic 90s grunge era, a trace of it between the lines. It’s deeply captivating. The light roughness in the track only adds to its uniqueness and gives it a voice of its own. That’s crucial in today’s music industry, to sound different, to build something that stands apart, and Wully does it brilliantly. I must admit, I have a soft spot for this kind of music, it’s warm, it’s intimate, and as a big fan of Nirvana, I found something familiar here. What’s fascinating is that every listener will interpret Wully’s sound in their own way, discovering what resonates most with them. That’s the essence of what makes songs memorable and artists truly stand out.

The closing track, ‘High on a Whim’, wraps up the record with misty pads, a solid rhythm, and Wully’s comforting vocals. The synth pads drift upfront, forming a soft, cloud-like layer that gently pushes the track into a dreamlike space. I love the guitar in the chorus cutting through like a ray of light, it creates such a warm and effortless atmosphere. The song honestly feels comforting, unforced, natural. Isn’t that the kind of music we all long for in such uncertain global times? These are questions that linger in many minds, yet music can become an escape, a quiet harbor where one can simply be happy. For me, the EP ‘WULLY’ became exactly that place. If there’s anything to regret, it’s only that it ends too soon. But that’s just the beginning, and I’m sure Wully has much more ahead, crossing genres and crafting music that brings rare moments of peace and joy in living. Make sure to add your favorite tracks to your playlist and follow Wully so you don’t miss more bright releases in the future.

Hi Wully! Thank you for creating such light and fascinating music. Listening to your tracks truly brought me a sense of calm and joy. The EP ‘WULLY’ turned out beautifully atmospheric and definitely leaves you wanting to dive deeper into your sound. I’ll be sure to share this release with everyone so they can enjoy it too. I love it, and I want more. I’m your fan!
