WILDES announces her forthcoming EP, Subsidence

The forthcoming release follows her acclaimed 2023 debut album, Other Words Fail Me, and her collaboration with The Flaming Lips on "True Love".

"‘heartbreak is silent’ captures a battle between myself and my emotions after the end of my last relationship. This particular heartbreak was quietly subtle from the outside, but raging and all encompassing within. He had no idea what I was going through - all he saw was the glossier veneer of social media. Heartbreak and grief are familiar to me, but they are heavy burdens that sometimes feel impossible to carry. This song is all about that duality."

WILDES self-produced and recorded the entire project from her flat in Dalston, recruiting frequent collaborator Matt Wiggins (Adele, Florence and the Machine) to mix the EP. "The EP centres around the abrupt end of a loving relationship that left me quite devastated and shocked," she explains.

WILDES will celebrate the release of Subsidence EP with three intimate headline shows in Bristol, Leeds and London next March, performing at St Pancras Old Church on 22 March.

Tracklist:

1. I Was New
