Recorded on and off over the last few years at Wilson’s Los Angeles studio, the EP is pure Semisonic in all its ragged, rousing glory, fueled by lean arrangements and muscular performances of poignant, bittersweet, alt-rock gems. With You’re Not Alone, Semisonic’s first new studio release in nearly two decades, Wilson and his bandmates have finally cracked the code, sounding more vital, more dynamic, and more like themselves than ever before. “I reached a point where I had to accept that I might not remember how to be that guy anymore.” “Every so often I’d sit down and try to write a Semisonic song, but it just wouldn’t come out sounding right,” says Wilson, who co-founded the seminal Minneapolis group with bassist John Munson and drummer Jacob Slichter in 1995.
The only band he wasn’t writing for, it seems, was his own. Over the last twenty years, Dan Wilson has written songs with just about everyone: Adele, Taylor Swift, John Legend, Leon Bridges, Halsey, Andrew Bird, Panic! At The Disco, Chris Stapleton, My Morning Jacket, Florence + The Machine, The Dixie Chicks-the list goes on and on.
