Buy 'Swipe Right' on Bandcamp from Half A Cow Records
Join Wilding as he leads you through the truly dispiriting pursuit of finding human connection through online dating. Swipe Right holds an infectious groove of spiky, syncopated guitars and bouncing synths. A defiant declaration that life begins on the other side of despair.
In the video, filmed at home during Melbourne’s second wave COVID-19 lockdown, Wilding meets a philosophical stick insect via a dating app and together they ponder the nature of existence.
Swipe Right is one of a series of character-study songs Wilding wrote about people who live in his neighbourhood of Coburg, Victoria.
His album, The Death of Foley's Mall is out on Friday 2 October on Half A Cow Records
