Denison Witmer's latest album is one of the most commercially viable records that he has put out in a long and varied career. It features a the slick production aesthetic, developed over his previous two records—"Are You A Dreamer" and "Carry the Weight"—that, while feeling like a departure from his first few albums, is a great set piece for Witmer's songwriting. Opening track "Hold On," with its densely layered instrumentation and backing vocals, is a case in point here. If Witmer is ever able to find the large audience that his talent deserves, this album seems to be designed to be the one to take him there. Besides "Hold On," other standout tracks are "Every Passing Day," "Cursing," and "I Live in Your Ghost." Two songs—"Life Before Aesthetics" and "One More Day"—are re-workings of songs that also appear on "Carry the Weight," the former especially has a much darker feel here than it did on the previous album. These newer versions fit the aesthetic "The Ones Who Wait" as well as the original versions fit in with "Carry the Weight," and its really interesting to see how the change of context alters the mood of both songs. Overall, "The Ones Who Wait" is a record that, I think, will satisfy Denison fans as another strong offering, and the record—along with support from his new label, Asthmatic Kitty—will hopefully draw in new fans that will finally give Witmer the recognition he deserves.
