“About 10 months into the pandemic, Daniel came over to my house and we talked about separation,” says Millsap about the writing of “So Far Apart.” “Separation for medical reasons, separation for industrial reasons, separation by means of suburbia, separation by means of drywall, separation from our animal selves, separation from our food systems...you know...the modern condition. We jammed on the idea and came up with this song.”

Millsap’s sixth studio album, Wilderness Within You is available now for pre-order. The collection was first heralded last month with the tracks “Running On Time” and “What You’ve Shown Me,” both available now at all DSPs and streaming services. “Running On Time” is joined by an official visual directed by Austin Leih and streaming at YouTube.

Millsap – who recently wrapped a series of dates supporting Patty Griffin – will celebrate Wilderness Within You with a tour (see below). For more details and ticket availability, please see www.parkermillsap.com/tour.
The follow-up to 2021’s Be Here Instead, Wilderness Within You sees Parker Millsap produced by new collaborator Ryan McFadden (Tony Joe White). Songs like “So Far Apart” find the Nashville, TN-based artist playing with field recordings, tape loop-driven soundscapes, and musical genre. “Wilderness Within You (Feat. Gillian Welch)” is more like his own classic folk songwriting.
“Ryan really took the time to comb through a mountain of material with me,” says Parker Millsap, “and he asked me hard questions about the songs that I hadn’t yet asked myself. He’s infectiously curious. That helped us create a clarity of purpose. So this approach gave us confidence that the melodies and lyrics were solid enough to handle sonic exploration. We had a blast.”
