Wilding’s second album Molecules To Moons is out through Half A Cow Records/MGM.

An exceptional follow-up to his 2012 debut, Molecules To Moons is a joyous collection of infectious odd-pop, foppish Abbey Road psychedelia and beautifully dreamy balladry. It’s a must listen for fans of The Beach Boys, Blur, The Kinks and The Flaming Lips. Wilding is the project of Melbourne songwriter and UK ex-pat Justin Wilding Stokes. Originally from Liverpool, he moved to Australia to live with his maternal grandmother, yet it’s clear that his hometown left an indelible mark on his music – at Molecules To Moons’ heart is unashamedly British-flavoured pop.

Infectious upbeat tracks, like singles Missing Her and Monkey House, feel like a carousel ride of sky-high horns and outrageous fuzz guitars. Beautiful Bacharach-pop ballads, like Deep River and Stuck In The Middle, float on a slipstream of hypnotic rhythms, wobbly synths, yearning piano and melancholic trumpet.

It's available on your chosen streaming service, as a iTunes download, a CD from Half A Cow Records or as a limited edition vinyl LP through Bandcamp.
