Wide Awake I Think ?

Big shout to all the lodge crew for help with the arrangement and Al for the mix. It's a song about an Omnichord!

Omnicunt

I wrote a theme song for a local man I've surreptitiously photographed who has a flamboyant dress sense.

The Man with Amazing Trousers

I'm Feeling High and Happy

A wheezing Trump on the White House balcony; a tech giant portraying a utopian workplace; armed right-wing militia protesting lockdown; a chief medic silently aghast at the suggestion of injecting disinfectant. These are the sorts of images that have inspired Wïlderman’s debut offering as the series of unfortunate events that has been bookended by the beyond-bizarre 45th US presidency has unfolded across the pond.

Born in Los Angeles, California, Wïlderman moved to the UK aged nine and, while counting himself a Brit, has always felt keenly his US heritage. It was this feeling of duality – in recent times, he says, akin to watching a load of toxic drama transpire among a group of friends he no longer drinks with – that led to the penning of the new track.

“We’ve always held the US up as the pinnacle of Western society, but they’re just making it up as they go along. This is a different way of viewing a subject we’ve been batting around for so long, rather than just social media shit-slinging; distilling and articulating all the ideas floating around between us to try and make sense of things.” – Wïlderman
