Was A Wolf continues to carve out a distinct space in the instrumental indie realm, blending dreamy textures with a sharp, emotive edge. The latest offering ‘Slow Secrets’ is a masterclass in atmosphere. An evocative, slow-burning composition that weaves together indie guitar nostalgia with modern electronic flourishes.
Originally conceived with a sync-driven vision, ‘Slow Secrets’ has found a home among listeners seeking an immersive sonic experience, free from lyrical distraction. Built around a lingering guitar motif that has been in the works for years, the track took on new life following a collaboration with downtempo producer Burdy. That partnership, coupled with a return to London, unlocked a creative shift, allowing the song to evolve into something deeply layered and transportive.
The song opens with a wistful, reverb-soaked guitar line, a nod to post-punk greats like Charlie Burchill, Will Sergeant, and The Edge, before gradually introducing electronic textures that propel it into new territory. While Was A Wolf is known for crafting introspective moments, ‘Slow Secrets’ ventures into something more expansive, culminating in a soaring, cathartic finale.
The result is a track that feels timeless and forward-thinking, a seamless fusion of post-rock depth and indie electronic innovation. Whether soundtracking quiet contemplation or cinematic movement, ‘Slow Secrets’ proves that instrumental music, when done right, can speak volumes without saying a word.
