Wyldest unveils first release in three years, "All It Would Take Is A Phone Call"

“This song is about the loss of communication in relationships – particularly with reference to family ties,” explains Zoë Mead AKA Wyldest. “Those are particularly interesting to me as I’ve experienced and seen in others within the western world, family bonds can sometimes become default, whereby parents, children, siblings can easily become strangers, however this invisible expectation of a bond holds people together, despite the cold reality of a bond that perhaps once existed fading into nothingness – leaving a group of estranged people forced into a space where they must follow a set of rules and appear to know and love each other.”

The accompanying self-shot video, filmed by Wyldest on the moors of Connemara in Western Ireland, draws a poetic parallel between the song’s theme of lost connection and the birthplace of modern communication. “I came across a big egg-shaped monument called the Marconi and was fascinated by it. It was in the middle of nowhere – standing alone as a tribute to Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor of the first wireless telecommunication device. I thought, ironically, that was a great link,” Wyldest says.

The track serves as her first release since her 2022 album, Feed The Flowers Nightmares, which followed 2021's Monthly Friend, and her 2019 debut, Dream Chaos.
