Eaves Wilder - Little Miss Sunshine (CD)
Little Miss Sunshine marks a stellar evolutionary leap for the North London singer-songwriter, Eaves Wilder, who first came to attention back in 2020, aged 16, with her self-recorded lockdown release Won’t You Be Happy. Eaves began working on Little Miss Sunshine after a period of reflection which saw her question whether she could ultimately do justice to the music in her head.
On Little Miss Sunshine, it’s a story told in thrilling installments, from the opening seconds of the album’s sonic establishing shot and lead single 'Hurricane Girl', a sensational synergy of diaphanous shoegaze harmonies and elemental rock guitars inspired by watching documentaries about storm chasers, using the metaphor to shine a light on friends who have been compelled to seek out tempestuous relationships. “I feel like this is my Pearl Jam song,” she explains, “The first time I ever listened to Pearl Jam. I was up this huge mountain in Wales. In the same week, I also heard Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette for the first time.” From here, right through to its achingly evocative requiem to childhood 'Summer Rolls', each song on Little Miss Sunshine acts as shining a co-ordinate in an arc of self-discovery.
Over the course of two years, Eaves worked tirelessly to finesse every single verse, chorus, pre-chorus and middle eight on Little Miss Sunshine before entering the studio with the album’s co-producer Andy Savours (My Bloody Valentine, The Killers, The Horrors). This is an album on which every single detail has earned its right to be there, bearing testament to the singular musical vision of its creator.
