This is the big one!
Melbourne/Naarm artist WILDING celebrates the release of new album Whatever I Am with a massive launch party at The Old Bar, Fitzroy.
Whatever I Am is out on Friday 3 May.
Come along to hear Wilding’s barbed slice-of-life songs about escaping from the mundane, exploring one’s identity, misguided tech-love, the daily absurdities of trying to get by, freedom through velocity, stale misplaced dreams, and the struggle to get off the sofa. All these themes are entwined within a patchwork of working-class characters and experiences. And dotted with Wilding’s own ultra-specific reference points of biscuits, betting shops, and domesticity.
At its core, Whatever I Am is an album about generational identity. Wilding asks… is this me? Was this me? Will this be me?
The Wilding band experience is a charming clash of neo-disco grooves, bouncy synths, sleek new wave basslines, and awkwardly bent Britpop guitar hooks.
Joining Wilding will be the melancholically uplifting jangle-pop of REDSPENCER and the post-punk sounds of newcomers FOLLIES.
