THIS IS SON SOLITAIRE | “…opens the latest chapter in one of the indie music world’s most formidably gifted artists”
Russell's latest EP, This Is Son Solitaire, is his bold reveal
of a post-punk/art-rock sound and persona. An artistic chameleon, WR presents an explosive trio of songs
which set a very high bar for his ever-expansive, increasingly diverse recorded output.
"He aspires to more than mere entertainment; Russell plots and pivots in such a way that he’s aiming for musical art every time… challenging arrangements and an intelligent lyrical message distinguishes Russell’s work from a bevy of lesser talents on the scene."
- The Hollywood Digest
“This is Son Solitaire shows a musical artist arguably working at the peak of his powers, but it’s far from the final word. There are greater triumphs ahead for this unique talent. First-time listeners to Russell’s gifts will surely return for more and he’ll be happy to oblige. Listeners such as myself will be happy to continue listening.” - Ballyhoo Magazine
“… a lyrical portrayal of a world in disarray with love as the only respite as the walls collapse all around. There’s an abundance of musical imagination driving performances such as this. Russell writes, records, and performs music with the same ease he brings to breathing and each of the EP’s three songs sound as if they were floating in the ether waiting for someone to come pluck them out and set them down for posterity. Posterity will inevitably judge these tracks favorably.”
