The songs here are eerily prescient, reflecting on isolation, connection, and resilience in the face of change, and though they pre-date the current landscape of lockdowns and social distancing, they feel tailor-made for the times, mixing hope and nostalgia in equal measure. Recorded on and off over the last few years at Wilson’s Los Angeles studio, the EP is pure Semisonic in all its ragged, rousing glory, fueled by lean arrangements and muscular performances of poignant, bittersweet, alt-rock gems. With You’re Not Alone, Semisonic’s first new studio release in nearly two decades, Wilson and his bandmates have finally cracked the code, sounding more vital, more dynamic, and more like themselves than ever before. “I reached a point where I had to accept that I might not remember how to be that guy anymore.” “Every so often I’d sit down and try to write a Semisonic song, but it just wouldn’t come out sounding right,” says Wilson, who co-founded the seminal Minneapolis group with bassist John Munson and drummer Jacob Slichter in 1995. The only band he wasn’t writing for, it seems, was his own.
