Eaves Wilder

The path to Wilder’s debut album began, paradoxically, with a period of silence. After a run of acclaimed singles and a debut EP, she stepped back from music entirely, hitting pause and questioning her creative direction so intensely she nearly walked away for good (she even, at one point, Googled nunneries). But the distance became a catalyst. Space brought clarity. Her purpose crystallised: to go big – truly big.

This “bigness” isn’t about commercial scale but emotional and elemental magnitude. Yes, a bigger sound, but also music that would make her feel tectonic – like a hurricane, a mountain, or the sun. Forces with singular intent, while Wilder felt she had too much. “I wasn’t having a nervous breakdown; I was just a hurricane making a whirlwind. I am not stubborn, I’m a mountain. Clouds aren’t pathetic when they cry, so why am I?”.
