Losing Teeth by Wilding

Losing Teeth

Losing Teeth is the new single from Melbourne odd-popster, Wilding. It’s about a man living through a desperate and inescapable personal crisis. Each tooth he loses is symbolic of how much his life is hopelessly deteriorating. He wonders if his luck will ever change.

“I was once a boy with a future bright and a happy smile of alabaster white. Oh I'm just fed up with losing teeth”

His human turmoil is wrapped up in a woozy psychedelic melody of sickly guitars and fairground keys evoking the feel of John Lennon or Mac DeMarco.

Losing Teeth is one of a series of character-study songs Wilding wrote about people who live in his neighbourhood of Coburg, Victoria. His concept album, The Death of Foley's Mall is out now.

The single is released with the new Wilding song ‘Did you hear that?’ – a spooky hallucinogenic trip about the paranoia of hearing unfamiliar night-time sounds.

From the Death of Foley's Mall album.
