Wildeflower – ‘Good Girl / Amazing Discovery’ Debut Single Out May 14th

“Three-part harmonies, vintage synthesizer explorations and folk-rock sentiment characterize the debut release from Wildeflower, a six piece from Englefield Green, Surrey. Led by the hirsute Max Kinghorn-Mills, the psychedelic-folk group marry influences from revival/progressive Nick Drake, Bert Jansch and Fairport Convention with the modern, swirling patterns of Caribou and Four Tet.” States the press release, although in this case With Guitars think they have described the band perfectly.

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’.

Max’s vocals exude a heady vitality – laying foundations for glorious harmonies that thicken the comforting air of nostalgia that lingers throughout.

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."
