Wilding is the solo project of Melbourne singer/songwriter Justin Wilding Stokes.
His debut album ‘Bird’s Bread’ is a happy blast of sunshine psych-pop, released on 4 May 2012 through Laughing Outlaw Records.
Wilding exists in a musical habitat that delights in slyly curling melodies, frank if at times absurdist lyrics about love and desire, and whimsical, multi-hued arrangements that lay bare the spirit of freedom, madness and fun.
In 2010, work began on the debut Wilding album, ‘Bird’s Bread’, recorded with Robin Waters of The Boat People and Machine Translations. It was made at Robin’s Brunswick home studio. And usually on a Monday. Just over a year later the recording and mixing was finished and the album was mastered by producer Matthew Redlich (Ball Park Music, Hungry Kids of Hungary).
At ‘Bird’s Bread’s core is a sense of playful pop experimentation and idiosyncratic song-writing that has arisen from the method of its making - a distinctly British flavour which takes in Abbey Road psychedelia, Canterbury-prog, freak folk, Merseybeat and British music hall. The album’s addictive melodic catchiness happily pulls you under its charms and into its feel-good world - coming out of your speakers in hyper-real technicolour!

About this track...
Reminiscent of a 1960’s freak-beat-fuzz pop song with an ‘Elephant Six’ vibe, strangely held together by a jaw’s harp rhythm, swanny whistle melody, and a reverb-drenched chorus. Intrigued yet?
...’Your playful desire’s masked by words. Twist and turn your shy black fingered curls’...
