"In case I make it," is the fourth studio album by American musician Will Wood, released through Say-10 on July 29, 2022. [1] It is considered by some to be a significant stylistic departure from his previous releases, with a focus on orchestral arrangements and acoustic instrumentation. [2]
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. [3] This name was replaced later in the year by "In case I make it," [4] as the former title was conceived through fear of death and intended to be his final album. [5] Wood later referred to the album as "essentially a musical suicide note". [6] 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. [5]
Prior to the album's release, Wood released the singles "Sex, Drugs, Rock 'n' Roll", [7] "Tomcat Disposables", [8] "Cicada Days", [9] "You Liked This (Okay, Computer!)", [10] "Euthanasia", and "White Noise". [11] 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. [1] [12] [13]
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." [14] 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. [15] 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." [1]
