About

The Wretch is a concept: something that has fallen short of the ideal. Be it human failing, mankinds failing, ideas created and tossed away, emotions left beneath the surface, all things have the potential to fall far short of their expected destiny.

The Wretch is a personification of this ideal, in many ways. We find ourselves falling short of what we dreamed, but we'll go down trying. Disparate concepts, discarded and tossed to the side: this is the foundation for the constant evolution of The Wretch's sound. There is no static need for sameness - there are many facets that need to be explored, and while before they may have been encapsulated into multiple projects produced by Michael Weeks and collaborators, now they find their home under one unified banner.

The Wretch is Michael Weeks, also featuring Darren Halm, Eric Schlappi and a host of assorted guests.
