Here’s a promising cut from Bristol, England’s Oliver Wilde, the first taste from his new LP, Red Tide Opal In The Loose End Womb. Replete with unexpected arrangement turns, Wilde weaves a subtle, homespun melody under lush strings and a stuttering beat for album opener “On This Morning.” I’d call it baroque pop for the introverted bedroom set, but really this stuff defies genre altogether. It arrives with the full record on May 5th via Howling Owl Records.
