Eaves Wilder – Little Miss Sunshine
North London’s Eaves Wilder has announced her highly anticipated debut album Little Miss Sunshine, to be released on April 17, 2026 via Secretly Canadian.
To mark the news, she also shares her new single “Hurricane Girl” – a storm-lit statement of intent that tears open the portal to Wilder’s expansive new world.
The new track is a sensational synergy of diaphanous shoegaze harmonies and elemental rock guitars, erupting into fuzzed-out dream rock with explosive live drums. Wilder’s soft, intimate vocals slice through a haze of electric riffs, blending sweetness and strength; it’s high-voltage and hyper-femme, heavy and ethereal all at once.
Wilder says of the song, “This is my go at cock rock. I love Pearl Jam, I love Janes Addiction, I love Stone Temple Pilots, Sound Garden, Aerosmith. I love how swaggering and soaring they sound. The first time I ever listened to Pearl Jam, I was up a mountain, and I wanted to make mountain music too. Songs with elemental scale.”
The path to Wilder’s debut album began, paradoxically, with a period of silence. After a run of acclaimed singles and a debut EP, she stepped back from music entirely, hitting pause and questioning her creative direction so intensely she nearly walked away for good (she even, at one point, Googled nunneries). But the distance became a catalyst. Space brought clarity. Her purpose crystallized: to go big – truly big. This “bigness” isn’t about commercial scale but emotional and elemental magnitude.
Yes, a bigger sound, but also music that would make her feel tectonic – like a hurricane, a mountain, the sun. Forces with singular intent, while Wilder felt she had too much. “I wasn’t having a nervous breakdown; I was just a hurricane making a whirlwind. I am not stubborn, I’m a mountain. Clouds aren’t pathetic when they cry, so why am I?”
Removed from the outside world and working in isolation in her shed – where she arranges, writes and produces – she began work on her debut full-length, an escapist creation born within four walls. “I want to make worlds now,” Eaves said of returning to her musical calling.
Possessing a clear depth and passion for sound, Eaves is a genuine music connoisseur, her new album sketching out a new landscape full of Eaves’ musical heroes: the dreamtime pop of Cocteau Twins, Slowdive and Lush, the full-on rock blast of Jane’s Addiction, and a sister-energy to Wet Leg, CMAT, and Wolf Alice. The result is a rich blend that feels both rooted and current.
Eaves Wilder has supported acts such as Kate Nash, The Libertines, Sir Chloe, Divorce and Nadine Shah and has performed at major festivals including Glastonbury (where she made a surprise appearance on The Other Stage), Green Man, The Great Escape, Pitchfork Paris, and Reeperbahn. Her previous project, debut EP Hookey (2023), was released to critical acclaim, tracks having garnered significant support from BBC Radio 1 and 6Music. Online, her Lana Del Rey cover has already racked up over 775k views on TikTok, and her fanbase continues to grow.
