Wildeflower – Good Girl | Music Review

Posted on by

 

Surrey folksters Wildeflower‘s new single is another gem from the rather fine Stella Mortos record label. The single is released on 14th May and it is one of the best of 2012 so far. Splendid. The title track sounds like The Great Park having a roll around in the hay with Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci, creating a folk sound with something more complicated and swirling over the top. It’s a joy to listen to. The b-side, ‘Amazing Discovery’, is more Beatles-esque. The perfect soundtrack to a summers day.

Wildeflower to release debut single | Music News

Surrey popsters Wildeflower will release their debut single ‘Good Girl’ via Stella Mortos on May 14th. The 6 piece band from Englefield Green, Surrey are led by Max Kinghorn-Mills and marry influences from revival/progressive Nick Drake, Bert Jansch and Fairport Convention with the modern, swirling patterns of Caribou and Four Tet.

As introductions go, ‘Good Girl’ is richly evocative, showcasing the group’s sound: spring-reverb, warm piano flourishes and flickering percussion. Amazing Discovery’ saunters down a well-trodden pastoral path into a leafy mantra: ‘Sound surround the earth and help me wonder’.

Recording took place last summer in bedrooms and the Beaconsfield countryside with Chris Smith (Fractal Skulls). Max explains further,  “I wanted to keep these recordings organic, avoid cold production; so we recorded some parts outside in the fields.” Max put the video together with clips he’d filmed during the recordings with friends.
