During Wasif’s life as a musician he’s been been a driving creative force in a plethora of genre-defining bands including early slo-core noise rock duo lowercase (whose records for Amphetamine Reptile are ripe for rediscovery); psychedelic folk group alaska!;and Sebadoh/Dinosaur Jr. member Lou Barlow’s project the Folk Implosion. Those not familiar with his riffs and solos for ElectricFlower Group, Grim Tower and ACID might recognize his electrifying work as a touring member of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Like songwriting experts such as Lee Hazelwood, Leonard Cohen, and Nick Cave, onSo Long Mr. Fear, Wasif, longtime collaboratorBruno, and mixer Lewis Pesacov unearth big ideas by carving away at smaller things until they glisten with universality. Put more concisely, these songs are deep and beautiful, and underscore a wildly evocative new chapter in Wasif’s restless, celebrated creative life.
