Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness is the solo guise of Andrew McMahon, the piano-pounding singer-songwriter born in 1982 who had already fronted Something Corporate and written the songs for Jack's Mannequin. After The Pop Underground EP in April 2013, he stepped out under the new name with a self-titled album on October 14, 2014.
That record's standout, "Cecilia and the Satellite", is a big-hearted piano anthem that swells into a skyward chorus, full of something close to wonder. Zombies on Broadway arrived on February 10, 2017, and pushed the pop sheen harder with "Fire Escape" and "So Close", all bright synths and sing-along hooks. Upside Down Flowers followed on November 16, 2018, bringing "Ohio", a more reflective turn.
He keeps looking back as much as forward: his memoir, Three Pianos, came out in 2021, and Tilt at the Wind No More, his fourth album, arrived in March 2023. The piano stays at the center of it all, and so does that earnest, bright-eyed voice.
