On his new album Wasteland, Jim Ghedi has created something huge: intense, brooding, bold, at times apocalyptic, and remarkably vast. A profoundly bold sonic statement that pushes the boundaries of what folk music can be in 2025. Wasteland plunges into the darkness of the modern world, embracing the weirder and more unnerving moments, capturing both the micro and macro scales of life, reflecting deeply on personal and societal issues.
