Feed The Flowers Nightmares

After the release of Wyldest's second album, 'Monthly Friend' (2021), Zoe Mead found herself at something of a crossroads. Having made their debut album 'Dream Chaos' (2019) as a trio, circumstances had shifted Wyldest into a solo project and Zoe decided to take on all responsibilities, writing, mixing, and producing the entire thing herself as a show of empowerment both for herself and in the face of wider societal constraints. While the music spoke for itself, the ramifications of that journey resulted in both a burn-out and a conundrum. She had proven that empowering yourself as a musician - especially as a woman navigating the music industry - was both important and achievable, but she also knew that she needed a reset, to take a step backwards to be able to move forward again with purpose.
