"'In case I make it,'"[1] is the fourth studio album by AmericanmusicianWill Wood, released through Say-10 on July 29, 2022.[2] It is considered by some to be a significant stylistic departure from his previous releases, with a focus on orchestral arrangements and acoustic instrumentation.[3]
Writing for Will Wood's fourth album took place between 2018 and 2022. In early 2021, he announced that the album would be funded through Indiegogo and called In Case I Die.[4] This name was replaced later in the year by "In case I make it,"[5] as the former title was conceived through fear of death and intended to be his final album.[6] Wood later referred to the album as "essentially a musical suicide note".[7] Wood created demos of the album solely with MIDI, only introducing the songs to his band after completion and sharing them with orchestras and brass personnel.[6]
Release
Prior to the album's release, Wood released the singles "Sex, Drugs, Rock 'n' Roll",[8] "Tomcat Disposables",[9] "Cicada Days",[10] "You Liked This (Okay, Computer!)",[11] "Euthanasia", and "White Noise".[12] Wood stated after the release of "In case I make it," that he would be taking an indefinite hiatus from creating music after finishing his tour, leaving some to speculate whether he would be quitting music permanently.[2][13][14]
Reception
Joshua Nelson of Bleeding Cool described the album as "a more subdued and mellow take on the stories and issues Will Wood typically tackles in his songwriting."[15] Caitlin Hsu of SwitchBitch Noise called Wood "the master of writing the most danceable songs with the most devastating lyrics" for his work on the album.[16] Behind the Curtains Media's Suzanne Torrison called the album "his most intricate and musically diverse album to date... in Will Wood's ever-changing and genre-bending discography."[2]
