Along with being the Fresh and Onlys guitarist, Wymond Miles has steadily built a catalog of interesting, challenging solo albums. 2016's Call by Night is certainly his most challenging record to date.

The darkness of Miles' words is made bolder by the cinematic sounds surrounding them, and the songs sink in deeply and completely.
