announced that Stratton's seventh album, The Changing Wilderness would be released on the label on May 7. The album was named one of The Guardian's best of 2021. On July 30, Stratton was a guest on Elton John's Apple Music Radio 1 show, Elton John's Rocket Hour. Influences Stratton is a "self professed disciple of Nick Drake." He has also been described as functioning "under the wing of Sufjan Stevens." Some have gone as far as to say that the resemblance to Drake is "unmistakable" at points, while his similarity to Stevens is "so apparent." John Fahey and Leo Kottke are often mentioned as influences on his guitar style.
