As if it’s not hot enough, Avebury’s finest musical export George Wilding is bounding back with another new single, Feed Your Head, out tomorrow, Friday 26th June…and he’s on fire…..
If the last few singles have come in harder rock than the melancholic, psychedelic swirls of his earlier years, while Feed Your Head doesn’t waiver from this progression, his natural talent for abstract wordplay and emotive face-slaps, in this one in particular, bears all the hallmarks of a George Wilding rocking out classic, and is an instant like….
Previous tunes of recent, like Isn’t She Lonely surprised me with whimsical experimentations akin to doo-wop, and Monday Morning’s Bitch nodded towards a Cure early eighties-alt vibe, but if George triumphs any challenge, and producer Jolyon Dixon engages it, Feed Your Head offers no such diversion, it simply rolls on a hard-hitting timeless indie-rock sound, comfortably.
Fans should think upbeat, like Terrible Little Secret rather than My Backward Head, yet playfully on a subject, like Tchaikovsky on the Tambourine. Feed Your Head bounds in, drums and guitars glaring upfront, on a ‘convincing yourself everything’s fine after a breakup’ theme, as if Katrina And The Waves recorded Positively 4th Street!
It’s a punchy electric three-minute hero without drift. There’s no reason why fans shouldn’t love it, unless they want meandering layers of pensiveness back, I’d argue with them it remains contemplative, just lively!
Make it your mission to look out for it tomorrow, along with some ice pops, perhaps. And he’ll; be playing Melksham’s Stealth Brewery Tap Room Friday evening, or see him at CrownFest on 4th July.
