2014 release from the downer pop songsmith. An organic progression from his debut album a BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO UNNATURAL LIGHTYEARS, which as well as gaining critical acclaim from the Guardian, Loud & Quiet, Drowned in Sound, and DIY et al, also helped him build a passionate following. RED TIDE OPAL IN THE LOOSE END WOMB finds the prodigal artist expanding musically his sonic experimentation and lyrically the surreal yet intimate imagery that has so enraptured listeners. From 'Smiler's foreboding, pulsing electronics through to the records soaring crescendo 'Vessel' written during Wilde's time spent in hospital recovering from heart failure, Red Tide Opal in the Loose End Womb is an album that rewards listeners with subtle gems, buried within.
