![]() ![]() Two of my favorite pieces from this album, “Since I Saw Vienna” and “Losing Face,” I feel are extremely underrated. However, towards the end of this song, the lyrics take a dark turn after Soot experienced people taking their lives on the London underground as he blames the city for putting the barriers up because the suicides were deterring tourism. This song is about how much Soot had come to dislike London after developing a horrible cough that doctors said was pollution-caused that developed into asthma. The EP opens with “Jubilee Line,” a haunting song that details the gritty underbelly of London, England. However, this song tackles extremely heavy topics such as substance abuse, loneliness, and suicide. It’s relatively simple in its chord progressions and instrumentals, most of the songs consisting of just Wilbur’s voice and his guitar. The album tracks only seven songs and can be completed in a quick 20 minutes. To separate his gaming career with his more musical one, Soot released this debut album under the alias ‘Wilbur,’ as a way to make a serious name for himself. Wilbur has also released several satire songs such as “I’m In Love With an E-Girl,” “Internet Ruined Me,” and more recently, “Your New Boyfriend.” After the channel was abandoned, he moved on to create an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) on JackSucksAtLife’s YouTube channel, which is unsolved to this day. His claim to fame started when he ran the YouTube channel, Soothouse, with a group of his friends. Soot is well known for his internet presence as a Twitch streamer and YouTuber. ![]() However, there is a bright side to everything because, despite all of the bad things that happened last year, there has been a beam of hope: new music!Ģ4-year-old Brighton artist Wilbur Soot, musically known as Wilbur, released his debut album, Your City Gave me Asthma on June 25, 2020.
