Check out the music video above, as well as the new EP release Nouveau Noir below from Cape Town downbeat/alternative R&B artist Damian Wilde, who was raised in a home filled with schizophrenics and manic-depressives whom his mother cared for. “My mother was a nurse at Valkenberg Psychiatric Hospital and she used to care for those who were on their way back to the ‘real world’ and had trouble adjusting. They became my carers and my friends” says Damian.
His sound is is “abstract and minimalist.” Fans of The Weeknd, TV On The Radio and Portishead should enjoy. After two years of writing and performing as part of the pSy-hOp band The Red Underground, he decided to work on a solo project. He uses music, like most of us, to make sense of his feelings and reflect on what he describes as the “fucked up” state of being human.
“My heart, it feels tainted and black. There are a lot of things that are wrong inside”, he says. “When I make a record I try and scrape off pieces of it, smear it on a record and send it out there.” He started writing poetry at 10, music became his outlet at 16 and by 19 he was in a band. Now at 21 he continues to develop his ability to articulate his emotions and reflect on his challenges through music.
Stream his new album below and watch the music video for the first single from his debut EP above.
