Composed by Max Allard

'Waldeinsamkeit' is the second single from our forthcoming album Froggy's Demise. It was composed by EZRA’s banjo player Max Allard, who had this to say about it: "Waldeinsamkeit is a German word that roughly translates to “the sublime feeling of being alone in the woods.” This composition is specifically inspired by the works of banjo master Jens Krüger, who has long been an inspiration to me, as well as a teacher and mentor. To me, this piece captures the feeling of taking an adventurous trek through the forest.”
