new album from Wilding – The Death Of Foley’s Mall
“The Death of Foley’s Mall is an elegant and perfectly formed collection of exquisite pop songs that are fresh, fearless and imbued with intelligence and humour. The title track is a glorious mid-point to the album: an elegant and poised rumination on life. Indeed there is an aching beauty throughout the album: perfectly formed vignettes of simple lives that each, individually have their own profound meaning and value.” – Arun Kendall, Backseat Mafia
The third album from Wilding is a series of character-study songs – written about the people who live in his neighbourhood of Coburg. Making concept albums cool again in 2020.
Swipe Right is the third single from the album. Join Wilding as he leads you through the truly dispiriting pursuit of finding human connection through online dating, Swipe Right holds an infectious groove of spikey, syncopated guitars and bouncing synths. A defiant declaration that life begins on the other side of despair.
In the music video, Wilding meets a philosophical stick insect during Melbourne’s second wave lockdown and together they ponder the nature of existence.
