Vilde: Maintain

Vilde Australian-born, Stockholm-based alt.pop artist Thomas Savage, AKA Vilde, releases his new single, the driving, intelligent and infectious Maintain.

Building his debut album piece by piece, dropping a new single each month, the ex-Kins frontman ups the tempo on this latest effort. Synth arpeggios cascade and unwind, cold electronic bleeps build suspense, before Savage’s claustrophobic vocals usher in the relentless drums and bass that drive the track forward at an invigorating pace.

Whilst taking cues from the likes of Radiohead, Wild Beasts, TV on the Radio, BØRNS and Tim Hecker, Vilde’s sound nonetheless remains resolutely his own. Termed ‘study-dance’, the atmospheric and sophisticated yet warm style resonates just as well with Shoreditch’s sweat-stained, beer-soaked Old Blue Last and Berlin’s painfully cool Berghain, two venues Vilde will be taking in this July with Foreign/National.
