Finn Wolfhard’s debut solo project, ‘Happy Birthday’, was written during a year of self-reflection.
The album explores themes of identity, anxiety, and coming of age. Produced by Kai Slater (Sharp Pins) and recorded across intimate spaces in Chicago, the tracks capture a raw, authentic feel – complete with the natural sounds of daily life. Some of you may know Finn’s music from his previous indie bands, Calpurnia and The Aubrey’s. He’s also quite well known for being Mike Wheeler from Stranger Things. For as long as he can remember, Finn Wolfhard has been deeply moved by both listening to and making music.
This album is Finn’s first time making music under his name. ‘Happy Birthday’ is a dizzying rush of nine songs, the album grew out of Wolfhard’s personal challenge to pen 50 songs by the end of 2022. He admits, “I ended up writing a lot of terrible stuff, but a few of those songs I was really proud of went to the Aubreys. I started realizing a general theme in a lot of the other songs involving my identity, anxieties, nostalgia, childhood and loneliness. All of that was a part of a bigger puzzle. I knew I wanted to make a record, but I didn’t know with which songs.”
