A Colossal Waste Of Light

They Said So

Note from Will: Creative expression is essential, as are our oceans and whales. All proceeds from this record and merch will go directly to my dear friends at Oceanic Preservation Society (the film, The Cove). My vision is to encourage other creatives (with the necessary means) to release their art in support of the causes that they care most about to both increase awareness of and donations to organizations doing important work. Let’s create, and find new ways to connect with our greater community.

------

Will the Whale is the solo project of Will Boesl, a child of a child of the sixties. Their sound is gentle and kind, with songs born from their meditation practice and filtered through their love of sixties folk rock and psychedelia.

Only Things of the Heart Remain is a 10-song journey with some old and some new. Will’s simple yet memorable melodies float softly among a bed of acoustics, bass, and drums. Accents of pedal steel, dobro, electric guitars, and harmonies help bring the songs to life. Lyrically, Will dances within the realm of spirituality as the theme of the album title grounds the songs as a whole: when all else falls away, only things of the heart remain. This album is dedicated to all people who feel deeply and have a need to express themselves. This is a celebration of authentic expression of the genuine, true self.

Desert Echoes (Extended)

Heartbreak_

A hypnotic Afro Tech journey built around the idea of an inner battle — a “silent war” no one else can see. Stripped percussion, deep tribal grooves, and fragmented vocals create a dark, minimal pulse for late-night floors and desert festivals.
