Info:

For Alec Koone, The 20 Year Old, Pennsylvania Resident, Who Was 19 And Based In New York At The Time Of His First Release, >wander / Wonder< Is A Coming Of Age Album That Sees Him Expand Upon The Unique Sound That Attracted Him So Much Attention To Begin With. In Koone S Own Words: It S An Open Ended Album, And I Think Individuals Should Make Their Own Meaning Of It So That It Is Something Actually Real To Them. It S Not Classical Music, But In The Tradition Of A Classical Work Like A Bach Cello Suite, I See It As More Of A Whole Musical Piece With Themes/motifs/ideas Reoccurring Throughout, Connecting The Tracks Together As Opposed To Simply Being A Collection Of Songs That Sit Next To Each Other In Isolation. It S Also An Album That Should Be Listened To Loudly. Wander / Wonder Is A Mysterious And Genuinely Haunting Record That Seems To Exist In A World All Of It S Own Making, Balanced Between The Ecstatic Wonder Referenced In The Title And Something Altogether More Indefinable And Uncertain Of Itself, Like Shards Of Light Flickering Through A Blanket Of Fog, And Even Though Wander / Wonder Is Undeniably An Electronic Album, It Feels Strangely Organic, Rooted In Nature, Synthetic Textures And Distorted Voices Harmonizing With An Ever Present Oceanic Shimmer. Wander / Wonder Was Written And Produced By Alec Koone In New York And Pennsylvania. Mixed By Alec Koone And Sam Haar (member Of Blondes) In New York City.
