Wicca Phase Springs Eternal has released his expansive self-titled new full-length, out today via Run For Cover Records. For over a decade the Pennsylvania-based singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, Adam McIlwee, has been using the Wicca Phase Springs Eternal moniker to create a vast catalog that’s as unpredictable as it is impressive, and now the name is also the title of his latest full-length. Wicca Phase Springs Eternal offers the musician’s most finely honed and welcoming songs to date, but it’s more than just a self-titled album–it’s a portal, an entryway into an entire world. 

The album’s early singles ‘Moving Without Movement‘ and ‘It’s Getting Dark‘, and ‘Farm‘ garnering attention from the likes of The FADER, BrooklynVegan, CLASH Magazine, and more–each delved into different corners of the WPSE sonic universe. Now listeners can experience the entire span of Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, from cinematic synth pop, to hazy acoustic balladry, to thumping house and beyond.

Wicca Phase Springs Eternal has been a fittingly enigmatic umbrella for McIlwee’s work, but with his self-titled album he extends a guiding hand through the mists to welcome new listeners and longtime fans alike. Working closely with Darcy Baylis and Ben Greenberg, McIlwee focused on going deeper than ever into the world-building aspect of WPSE, while also expanding his sound in new directions. Drawing on elements of house, trance, new wave, and more, Wicca Phase Springs Eternal is bursting with mood and mystery, conjuring detailed imagery and cutting emotion in equal measure. It’s an album that sums up what McIlwee does best: capturing both the romanticism and inscrutability of life’s biggest feelings. “I probably say the word ‘mystery’ a hundred times on this record,” he explains. “That’s what I’m trying to bottle up–this idea of something that’s hard to know, but enticing.” When Wicca Phase Springs Eternal ends, you find yourself compelled to play it again–to enter the portal and once more find out where it leads.
