Wildheart have declared that the ‘Global Crisis’ is here. Their album is out now and is out now on all digital platforms at http://ffm.to/globalcrisis with Vinyl and Merch bundles at https://www.wearewildheart.com.au/store.

The Meanjin/Yugambeh (Brisbane & The Gold Coast) based quintet make this statement: “Today, we give you ‘Global Crisis’. We hope that it provokes discussion, that it makes all who listen to it feel something and to ponder consequences, short and long term, of decisions made every day. It is an aggressive album, but it is also hopefully an inspiring album, with a message of ‘Do Better’.“

The themes and messages contained in the lyrics of the record are particularly poignant for Indigenous frontman Axel Best, a proud Yugambeh man., who expressed an optimistic and hopeful outlook to the future, saying that “Singing about these topics can be cathartic and help us move towards better outcomes.”
