Oh so many things to say about this album, where to even start? Released in 2022, a lot of people
say this is Will’s ‘recovery’ album and I don’t think it's that at all. It’s a reflection, a pause,
a letter to really anyone that will listen, to himself, it’s in the title: “In Case I Make It”. In a
habit I know that would annoy Will himself. I project A LOT onto this album. I was listening to him
late 2018 and picked his music up again in 2020, this album released at a point I really felt a change
in my life, I was confronting the shit and the way I handled myself in my teenage years and really
considering the thoughts of settling down and starting a life, and what that would look like for someone
like me, if that was *possible* for someone like me. The title really struck home, I wasn't wanting to
end it, but I sure as hell wasn't going anywhere yet. I just felt a change.
Fast forward 3 years and this album is absolutely devastating and dear to me. Being older, with a dedication to
myself and love, and life itself, so many more tracks and the ones I love hit that much harder.
I had the fortune of seeing him play most of this album live at the Vermont and at the Wilshire Ebell and he is 100% one of my favorite artists
I’ve ever seen. There is something so deeply intimate and personal about his performances, I’ve cried at every show. Anyways, my top 5 songs from ICIMI
★ Becoming The Lastnames
★ Half-Decade Hangover
★ Against the Kitchen Floor
★ Sex, Drugs, Rock ‘n’ Roll
★ Um, It’s Kind of a Lot
