Wyldest - 'Dream Chaos' Album & Tour

Before relocating to London a few years back, dream-pop merchants Wyldest were a frequent presence on the Portsmouth music scene, gigging at some of the city's fine venues and building a dedicated fan-base along the way. Heck, one of the band members used to work in Southsea's excellent  Pie & Vinyl (and I'm fairly sure it was they who served me when I bought a Battery Hens' EP there).

Wyldest, originally Wildest Dreams, began as duo. The addition of a drummer has definitely help to fill out their sound, though the band has undergone a line-up change following the departure of original guitarist Holly Mullineaux. A move to the Big Smoke has allowed the band to take advantage of the benefits, such as more venues where they can hone their craft and dedicated studio space at their disposal, that living in a thriving metropolis offers.

After spending 2018 writing and recording new material the three-piece, now consisting of Zoe Mead (guitar and vocals), Mariin Kallikorm (Bass) and Jack Gooderham (Drums), have announced details of their debut long player. Dream Chaos is scheduled for release on Friday 1st March via Hand in Hive and, to celebrate its launch, the band are heading out on the road.

The Dream Chaos tour starts in London on March 5th, swings through Liverpool, Milton Keyens and Norwich, wrapping up on March 20th at Southampton's Heartbreakers, and tickets can be purchased via Songkick.
