“If
there’s any upside to a global pandemic…”, Well Wishers frontman Jeff Shelton
explains, “I suppose it’s being locked down and afforded the time to write and
record a new album!” “Shelf Life”, the
11th full-length studio album from the Well Wishers, was written and produced
in the short span of just five months, shortly after nationwide lockdowns began
in response to the growing Covid crisis. Lyrically, the album explores themes and
emotions surfaced from the pandemic – from loneliness, isolation, frustration,
but also nods toward resilience, hope, and love. “It’s a truly unusual
time…”Shelton continues, “I’m not sure I could have written this particular
album in any other time. It’s strange to think what would have surfaced
creatively under different circumstances.” Musically, the record hits on the
Well Wishers’ tried and true formula of hook-filled melodies, soaring vocal
harmonies, big bold guitars and carefully layered arrangements that highlight a
honed and skilled pop songcraft. Jeff was assisted by a few guests this go-round,
including Bay Area cohorts Bradley Skaught (Bye Bye Blackbirds), KC Bowman, and
former Headslide bandmate Pete Bohan, who each offered stunning guitar work on
three of the album’s tracks. “Power
pop, while at times disposable, is hard to throw away when it sounds trhis
good!” – J.C. Monger “If power pop was like a sports league, Jeff Shelton
minght be the frontrunner for MVP!” – AbsolutePowerpop.com GREAT!!
