LONER
Alison Wonderland’s “Loner” Album Is Headed to Print As a Graphic Novel
The story behind Alison Wonderland’s Loner will soon be put to the page. Wonderland’s stunning third album is one of isolation, loss, panic, grief and prevailing. It was perhaps her most vulnerable project to date, born out of a particularly challenging personal chapter amid the throes of the pandemic. Now, Loner has found a new medium: as a graphic novel. Working with Z2 Comics, Wonderland’s journey is documented as a multi-dimensional, metaphysical experience in prismatic color. The reader also has a say in the journey’s events thanks to the project’s RPG-style module, which ensures a fully playable, customizable user experience.

Lights, camera, laundry. Alison Wonderland rinsed out a slew of filthy new tracks live from a vacant L.A. laundromat as her long-awaited album dropped this week.

“Loner”: Alison Wonderland’s Third Album Is the Rallying Call of Our Times
In 2020, Alison Wonderland hit a turning point. “My life was going a certain way before something pulled everything out from under me…I felt like I had hit my rock bottom,” she reflected in a press release. It was a reckoning both personal and professional, as working on new music transformed from an emotional outlet into a rallying call. “I realized that I have always seen myself as the victim of my story,” she recalled. “This time, something shifted in me, and I decided that I didn’t want to be the victim anymore.” Wonderland’s third album, Loner, is out now and it’s the sweeping result of this new awakening. And despite the title of her 2018 sophomore effort, Awake, it’s actually this new 12-track project that...

I don’t get it…It feels like this is gonna happen forever because I keep trying and nothing’s working,'” Wonderland recalled. “And he looked at me and he was like, ‘It will feel like forever until it doesn’t.'” Trevor’s wise words became the leading lyric of “Forever,” a poignant electronic ballad in which Wonderland’s ethereal vocals float...
