Nicholas Long, the musical force behind Wavewulf, continues to break new ground in electronic music with his latest single, “Unbreakable Soul.” The title track from his forthcoming fall album is a powerful anthem celebrating resilience and the transformative potential within us all. Drawing on the challenges of life, the song delves into a journey of self-discovery, seeking wisdom from both personal experience and the strength of others, ultimately leading to a place of renewed power.
Long’s musical journey began in a small college town in Northwest Arkansas, deeply influenced by his father’s vast record collection, a treasure trove of iconic bands like Pink Floyd and The Beatles. This early exposure ignited a lifelong passion for music, starting with toy synthesizers and evolving into neighborhood bands. A pivotal moment came at the age of 13, when a live Depeche Mode concert convinced him to pursue his passion further, prompting his parents to invest in a Roland Juno 106, a key piece in his musical arsenal.
After exploring various paths in graphic design, social work, and academia while honing his musical skills in college bands, Long officially established Wavewulf in 2017. Invested with funds inherited after his mother’s passing, he dedicated himself fully to music, acquiring analog synthesizers and professional recording equipment. This dedication culminated in his debut album, “Oscillation,” in 2019. With each subsequent release, Wavewulf has expanded his sonic palette, tackling diverse themes from environmentalism to the cosmos, all while garnering critical acclaim along the way.
“Unbreakable Soul” marks a turning point for Wavewulf, showcasing his artistic growth with both profound themes and sonic experimentation. Polish singer Nala Spark’s haunting vocals lead the listener through a journey of overcoming hardship and ultimately finding empowerment. This message is underscored by Wavewulf’s production, which blends driving analog synths with a hypnotic beat, creating an ethereal soundscape that symbolizes the unwavering spirit within. However, “Unbreakable Soul” transcends a personal story. By seamlessly weaving his vision with universal themes of resilience, Wavewulf reminds listeners of their own inner strength and capacity for growth. This powerful message, amplified by the rich, analog textures, elevates “Unbreakable Soul” into a standout track that invites reflection and inspires hope.
As Wavewulf pushes the boundaries of electronic music, “Unbreakable Soul” stands as a beacon of his artistry and a testament to the enduring human spirit. It’s more than just music; it’s a call to embrace our inner strength, a sonic invitation to transcend life’s challenges. For anyone embarking on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, “Unbreakable Soul” serves as a powerful anthem.
