about

Big Plans for a Blue World see Wylderness return with an expanded line up, incorporating vintage synths and clarinet to their fuzzy, mesmerising wall of sound.

Produced with Rory Attwell between a farm in rural mid-Wales (Giant Wafer Studios, Llanbadarn Fynydd) and Andy Ramsey of Stereolabs Press Play studio in London.

The name of the album was inspired by David Bowie and came to singer Marz in a dream: “I had a vivid dream I was at a David Bowie concert in the mid 80s. Bowie walked on stage in a crisp blue suit and said ‘this is a new song, it’s called Big Plans for a Blue World’. The song was in the same vein as Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. Probably not up there with Bowie’s greatest work but it had a catchy chorus. I woke up and wrote it down, and started Googling to see if it was a real song by Bowie but nothing came up. We took it that this was meant to be the name for the new album.”

Big Plans for a Blue World is the follow up to the eponymous debut album, which was championed by Steve Lamacq (BBC 6 Music), Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1) and part of Radio 1’s Best of BBC Music Introducing.
