Music of the Day: Eaves Wilder - Freefall

Born and raised in London, Eaves Wilder began songwriting around the age of eight, harnessing an early obsession with ‘60s Motown records and the left-field pop of Lily Allen. She found similarities to The Sundays’ Harriet Wheeler’s voice in her own, and became comfortable with her lisp when she heard Grimes singing with hers. Eaves’ inspirations are endless, but this trio in particular illustrate the origins of her own sound. Pulling together the anger that drove the riot grrl genre, the walls of reverb from shoegaze, and delicate vocals, Eaves Wilder came into her own.
