Wyldest reveals animated ‘Glue’ video

Following the release of her second record ‘Monthly Friend’, Wyldest is now sharing the animated visual for ‘Glue’.

“‘Glue’ is a song about the end of the universe,” Zoe Mead explains. “Sounds morbid, but really it isn’t. I wrote it after watching a very existential documentary about space during the first lockdown in 2020. My mind just blows when I think about space and the universe. It’s comforting to me, when I’m feeling sorry for myself for whatever reason, I find it really powerful to absorb myself in something which takes my mind out of this earthly world, seeing the bigger picture - it is a reminder about how tiny we are and how incomprehensibly huge the universe is.”

“So yeah ‘Glue’ acts as a reminder that no matter how bad things get - in relation to our political state, human discrimination, the environment - there are always bigger things going on out there,” she continues. “I suppose it’s a bit of a love song to mother earth - the ‘glue’ that holds everything together - and the pretty damn magnificent world we have. No matter what us mere humans do here, she will always find a way to recoup what she has, whether we’re here to see it or not.

“The music video was created by the very talented animator Tom Gaiger. I helped him to concept it, telling him about how I wrote the song in my flat, whilst looking out of the window at a big smokey chimney that sits directly outside my street in South London and how I regularly have dreams about floating in space for infinity. He helped me piece everything together in a storyboard and created this wonderful animation.”
