wilder Thing

I’ve Have My Mother’s Eyes and I’m Not Giving Them Back (2024) marks Sterrs’ inaugural release with Maine indie label Repeating Cloud - Part anthology, part audio journal, My Mother’s Eyes presents an assortment of motifs and scenes including, but not limited to: a carnivorous flower garden; mysterious creatures beneath the bed; a corduroy laden world of pink and gold willow trees; and the messy, weird, lovely aspects of coming of age in the mid-2000s. It’s kitchen sink psychedelia, given a cohesive shape by Sterrs’ ear for arrangements and use of poetic constraints.

“wilder Thing is a space for me to be odd, loud, experimental,” Wes says. “A space for introspection through noise.”
