Jeff Andrew unveils latest single, “The Last Wild Werewolf”
BC musician Jeff Andrew is a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and fiddler with an eye for the unusual. His songs are like a cracked-mirror reflection of the world we know – a parallel reality told through ghost stories, underground travel tales, and weird historical fiction.
On his new album Blood Moon, set for release on June 9th, he explores this dream-like landscape through an electrified patchwork of folk, rock, and post-punk, with echoes of old-time Americana and 80s horror movie soundtracks.
The first single, “The Last Wild Werewolf,” leans heavily into the folk noir theme, with Jeff playing a Stroh Violin (aka a horn violin) to help set the spooky tone.
“This song is about an alternate world, where werewolves used to be common but have now been hunted nearly to extinction,” says Jeff. “The narrator is one of the last ones, and they’re kept locked up and studied as a zoological abomination. One full moon night, they hear a wild werewolf howling out on the plains (there aren’t supposed to be any left) and decide it’s time to break free and go find her. It’s kind of a love story and kind of a fantasy about breaking the chains of a world that doesn’t understand you. It’s also about our relationship to nature and how disconnected we are from our place in it. What if the animals we hunted were also human?”
