When the opening, fluttering motions of a track come in the form of birdsong, you’re bound to have a fair idea of what’s to emerge. Well, it’s either going to be a nauseating application of tweeness, with lyrics about finding the best organic produce and families teaching children how to ride the jeep; or we might get something special, a timely reminder of how perfect a companion good acoustic music can be to the breaking springtime.

It’s the latter, when it comes to Wildeflower aka. Max Kinghorn-Mills. With a penchant for additional, unnecessary ‘e’’s and strikingly posh surnames, Max’s debut track ‘Good Girl’ is reassuringly well-rooted. Refusing to show off, it basks itself in three-part harmonies, with rich, subtle synth parts jostling with fidgety structures, which quite naturally draw Grizzly Bear comparisons, none more so because of Max’s Ed Droste-style of vocal delivery; softly spoken and wholly intriguing.

Wildeflower’s new single ‘Good Girl’ / ’Amazing Discovery’ will be released on 14th May via Stella Mortos.
