Jet Lag is the first solo studio album by American multi-instrumentalist Josiah Wolf.[13] It was released on Anticon on March 2, 2010.[14] The songs on the album were written after the demise of Wolf's 11-year marriage.[15] All the instruments were played by Wolf himself and recorded in a secluded cottage near Cincinnati, Ohio.[15]

Critical reception

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Jet Lag received an average score of 62% based on 11 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[2]

Brett Uddenberg of URB gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, saying, "Wolf's elastic compositions straddle the line between a multitude of genres without making it sound forced."[11] He added: "Widely respected as one of the best drummers on the indie scene for years, Josiah Wolf has deftly proven he has the chops to stand on his own."[11]

Anthony Mark Happel of Impose said, "Wolf adds kalimba, organ, bells, drums, etc. to his mostly effective guitar playing, and there is a serious quality to the playing in general, underscored by a sense of self-effacement and humility in the insular poetry of the songs."[6]
