Vanderwolf – As The Sun
Acclaimed songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Max Vanderwolf unveils “As the Sun“, the debut track of the Vanderwolf Singles Club series, a collection of monthly releases showcasing his dynamic creativity. Dramatic and earthy, the track sets the stage for what promises to be an evocative musical journey. “As the Sun” was just released worldwide on February 19, 2025.
Written in London, “As the Sun” was recorded with striking simplicity, featuring two dobros and a haunting vocal arrangement.
Vanderwolf partnered with vocalist Victy Silva, wife of producer Chris Wyles, to create the track’s ghostly “choir of voices.” Recorded in Wyles’ basement studio in Camberwell, South London, the Delta-blues-inspired track reflects Vanderwolf’s raw and soulful style.
“Most of my songs wrestle with the fleeting nature of life,” Vanderwolf explains. “This one is no exception—it’s an existentialist’s anthem.”
The track is accompanied by a visually striking music video directed by longtime collaborator Alden Volney. The video offers a fresh perspective on the song’s themes, building an imaginative narrative that expands beyond its existential reflections.
“As the Sun” also serves as a platform for social commentary, addressing the issue of forced prison labor in the United States. Inspired by ongoing efforts to abolish the 14th Amendment’s “exception clause,” which allows prison slavery, Vanderwolf’s work highlights the growing movement to end this systemic injustice. Recent reforms in states like Colorado, Alabama, and Oregon underscore a broader push to dismantle these remnants of slavery. With “As The Sun“, Vanderwolf intertwines artistry and advocacy, delivering a poignant and socially conscious debut for the Vanderwolf Singles Club.
